  • Patent number: 10894409
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a liquid ejection head, which is capable of patterning a dry film while suppressing deformation of the dry film caused by a pressure. The method of manufacturing a liquid ejection head includes: preparing a substrate including an ejection orifice member on a first surface; forming, on an ejection orifice surface of the ejection orifice member, a protection film having communicating holes for allowing ejection orifices to communicate to outside; closing an opening of a supply port on a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface of the substrate with a dry film; and patterning the dry film by irradiating the dry film with light under a state in which the protection film is formed on the ejection orifice surface.

  • Patent number: 10618286
    Abstract: In a structure such as a liquid ejecting head configured to cover an opening of a base with a covering member, the present invention alleviates the generation of a warp on the structure or the base even if the covering member is hardened and shrunk. The structure includes the base and the covering member attached onto the base. A manufacturing method for the structure includes: a first step of attaching the covering member having flexibility onto the base in such a manner as to cover an opening of the hole formed at the base and a second step of hardening the covering member attached onto the base. In the first step, the covering member is attached onto the base in a state in which a non-stuck portion of the covering member, covering the opening of the base, is slack.

  • Publication number: 20200070519
    Abstract: A method for producing a porous body having a first porous layer and a second porous layer on the first porous layer. The volume ratio of the first resin to the second resin in the first porous layer is 1:1 to 200:1. A heating temperature in performing a first heat treatment is higher than or equal to the softening point of the first resin. A heating temperature in performing a second heat treatment is higher than or equal to the softening point of the second resin but lower than the softening point of the first resin.

  • Publication number: 20190255586
    Abstract: workpiece bending method and a workpiece bending apparatus that allow setting of a trajectory of a bending implement based upon a pre-processed shape of a workpiece and an intended post-processed shape of the workpiece. The workpiece bending method bends a flange of a workpiece via a processing roller, and includes a step for obtaining a pre-processed angle of the flange before processing and a flange length of the portion of the flange to be bent; a trajectory determination step for determining a path (trajectory) of the processing roller based upon the pre-processed angle, an intended angle after processing, and the flange length; and a processing step for moving the processing roller in a prescribed direction in accordance with the path determined in the trajectory determination step and then bending the flange until the intended angle is achieved.

  • Patent number: 10315425
    Abstract: Provided is a method of producing a structure including a substrate having openings in a first surface and a lid structure formed on the first surface and having an opening portion communicating with a part of the openings. The method includes preparing a laminate by forming a layer containing a photosensitive resin composition on a base film, stacking the laminate on the first surface such that the first surface is in contact with the photosensitive resin composition-containing layer, and forming a pattern for the opening portion of the lid structure in the photosensitive resin composition-containing layer by pattern exposure of the layer through the base film. The maximum scattering light intensity of the base film at a scattering angle of 10° or more is 1/100000 or less of the light intensity at a scattering angle of 0°, at a wavelength of 400 nm.
