Alignment method of liquid-jet head unit
An alignment method includes: disposing an alignment mark provided to a positioned member and a reference mark provided to a surface of an alignment mask so that the alignment mark and the reference mark can face each other; capturing an image from the other surface side of the alignment mask, which is the opposite surface of the alignment mask from the surface where the reference mark is disposed, the image concurrently showing the alignment mark and the reference mark; performing a surface treatment on at least a region of the positioned member side of the alignment mask, which is captured as the image, rather than on the reference mark side thereof, the surface treatment providing a high contrast ratio to each alignment mark and reference mark on the captured image; and thereafter aligning the alignment mark with the reference mark, while checking the image.
1. A method of manufacturing a liquid-jet head unit including a liquid-jet head having an alignment mark, and a fixing member holding the liquid-jet head, the method comprising:
arranging the fixing member between the liquid-jet head and an alignment mask which is made of a transparent member; and
aligning a reference mark provided to a surface of the alignment mask and the alignment mark,
wherein a surface treatment film directly contacts the surface of the alignment mask.
2. The method of manufacturing a liquid-jet head unit according to claim 1 , wherein the surface treatment film has a high contrast ratio to the alignment mark and the reference mark.
3. The method of manufacturing a liquid-jet head unit according to claim 1 , wherein, the alignment mark is formed of a penetrated hole.
4. The method of manufacturing a liquid-jet head unit according to claim 1 , wherein the reference mark is formed of a metal.
