ABSTRACT:
An inkjet printhead has a substrate supporting an array of ink ejection nozzles. The nozzles include an ink chamber between an ink inlet and a nozzle aperture. The nozzle is operated by a paddle disposed within the chamber that is driven by a thermal bend actuator. Drive circuitry for operating the thermal bend actuator is disposed beneath the thermal bend actuator, giving the nozzle a compact construction.
