摘要: The exemplary embodiments disclosed herein incorporate transistor heating technology to create micro-heater arrays as the digital element for various marking applications. heaters are typically fabricated either on a thin flexible substrate or an amorphous silicon drum and embedded below working surface. Matrix drive methods may be used address each individual deliver heat selected surface areas. Depending different applications, selectively tune wettability of thermo-sensitive coating, change ink rheology, remove liquid from surface, fuse/fix toner/ink paper.
