Abstract:
1. A print head, comprising: a jet stack including an aperture plate having an array of apertures arranged to allow passage of ink stored in the jet stack; a diaphragm arranged adjacent the jet stack so as to apply pressure on the ink stored in the jet stack; an array of transducers arranged to cause the diaphragm to deflect when activated; an anisotropic conductive film attached to the array of transducers comprising one of a film having metal nanowires embedded therein the nanowires extending along a z-axis of the film, the film having material removed adjacent the transducer to reduce mechanical loading of the transducer; and an electrical interconnect formed from the anisotropic conductive film arranged to electrically couple the transducer to a signal routing circuit.
