INK RESIDUAL QUANTITY DETECTION MODULE FOR INKJET RECORDING, INK TANK WITH THE INK RESIDUAL QUANTITY DETECTION MODULE, AND INKJET RECORDER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect information related to ink in an ink tank by a simple constitution so that it can be applied also to a compact ink tank, and moreover to simply and surely store detected information.;SOLUTION: An ink residual quantity detection module 20 has a supporting substrate 21; an information storage element 22 and electrodes for detection 23 set at a first face 21a of the supporting substrate 21; and external contact electrodes 24 for detection and external contact electrodes 25 for the element set at a second face 21b of the supporting substrate 21. The ink residual quantity detection module 20 is attached to a cap part 2 which constitutes a part of a case of the ink tank while the electrodes for detection 23 are exposed to the interior of an ink storage chamber 6.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
