Nozzle for jetting fluid

A fluid injecting nozzle is provided to prevent the unnecessary discharge of a liquid upon blocking of a valve by forming the width of a fluid channel in a nozzle body in a small size to increase adhesive power between a fluid and an inner surface of the fluid channel. A nozzle body(12) is comprised of a first plate(16) arranged adjacent to a substrate and a second plate(14) arranged over the first plate and coupled thereto. An end of the first plate is protruded toward the substrate more than that of the second plate. The nozzle body has a discharge hole for discharging a fluid to the substrate. A fluid channel is formed in the nozzle body to guide the fluid toward the discharge hole. The discharge hole is configured to have a discharge area greater than a cross section of the fluid channel, thereby reducing speed of the fluid flowing in the fluid channel. A chamber having a certain volume is formed on the fluid channel to temporally store the fluid flowing on the fluid channel and then allow it to flow along the fluid channel.
