A type of speaker driver that creates sound when a quartz crystal receives electrical energy.
A printer head technology that uses micro-electric firing of crystals to control the flow of ink to the substrate. Micropiezo is a smaller version, or unit of measurement, than a piezo.
The preferred technology for an inkjet print head, primarily because of its durability. The technology uses piezoelectric materials located near the ink reservoir of each nozzle. As electric charges are applied, the material vibrates inward and forces a tiny amount of ink out of the nozzle. When it vibrates out, it pulls more ink into the reservoir.
