Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1559676A2] The fine structure arrangement includes inlet port (2) and discharge port (4) between which a transitional zone (3) for conveying fluid, is formed. A region (6) at which the capillary force is maximum, is formed at the transitional zone, such that the fluid meniscus is produced, which moves based on capillary force, in the transitional zone. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) fine structure apparatus; and (2) fluid ejection method.
