Abstract
A piezoelectric printing device includes a substrate and a piezoelectric plate. At least one row of drop ejectors is disposed along a row direction. Each drop ejector includes a nozzle in fluid communication with a pressure chamber that is bounded by side walls. The piezoelectric plate has a first surface that is disposed proximate to the first side of the substrate. A bonding layer is disposed between the piezoelectric plate and the substrate. An electrode layer is disposed between the first surface of the piezoelectric plate and the bonding layer. The electrode layer includes a signal line corresponding to each pressure chamber. Each signal line leads to a signal input pad. The electrode layer also includes ground traces disposed on both sides of each pressure chamber. The ground traces are electrically connected to at least one common ground bus that is electrically connected to at least one ground return pad.
