Patent ID: 7533966

Claim:
A mist spraying apparatus, comprising: a liquid chamber into which liquid is filled; an ejection port through which the liquid is ejected from the liquid chamber; a first electrode which is in contact with the liquid and charges the liquid; a vibration generating device which converts the liquid into droplets by applying vibrational energy to the liquid inside the liquid chamber, thereby generating a charged mist; a rear surface electrode which is disposed so as to oppose an ejection surface including the ejection port, and holds a liquid receiving medium onto which the charged mist is deposited from the ejection port; and a second electrode which is disposed at a position in an outward radial direction from an edge of the ejection port, and generates an electric field between the second electrode and the rear surface electrode, the electric field accelerating and converging the charged mist ejected from the ejection port toward the liquid receiving medium, wherein the charged mist is a cluster of a plurality of fine droplets of the liquid.
