  • Patent number: 9738076
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a liquid ejection head, which includes a step of preparing a substrate including a first layer, a step of forming a flow path mold for forming the flow path and a member located outside the mold with a gap between the mold and the member from the first layer, a step of providing a second layer so that the second layer fills the gap and covers the mold and the member located outside the mold with the gap between them, a step of forming an ejection orifice forming member for forming an ejection orifice from the second layer, a step of removing the member located outside the mold with the gap between them, and a step of forming a wall member located outside the ejection orifice forming member with at least a partial gap between the ejection orifice forming member and the wall member.

  • Patent number: 9168749
    Abstract: This invention relates to a manufacturing method of a liquid discharge head comprising: forming an active energy ray-curable resin layer on a surface of a substrate on which discharge energy generating elements are formed, attaching a material permeable to active energy rays onto a surface of the active energy ray-curable resin layer, pressing against the material permeable to active energy rays, a master mold being transparent to the active energy rays and having protrusions corresponding to a pattern of discharge ports so as to transfer the protrusions to the material permeable to active energy rays, selectively irradiating the active energy ray-curable resin layer with active energy rays according to a pattern of liquid flow paths so as to cure the active energy ray-curable resin layer, removing the master mold, and removing uncured portions of the active energy ray-curable resin layer.

  • Patent number: 9114617
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a liquid discharge head having a flow path communicating with a discharge port for discharging liquid includes in the following order: preparing a substrate with an evenly provided first layer as a flat layer; forming, of the first layer, a pattern of the flow path for forming the flow path, and a member (A) provided outside the pattern via a gap; providing a second layer so as to fill the gap and to cover the pattern and the member (A); forming, of the second layer, a member (B) for forming the discharge port on the pattern; and removing the member (A), providing, at least on the substrate, a third layer so as to hold it in intimate contact with the member (B), and removing the pattern to form the flow path.

  • Patent number: 8366862
    Abstract: A method for forming a structure includes: a step of forming on a substrate a resin layer composed of a resin which is cured by irradiation with active energy rays; a step of pressing a first mold on the resin layer, the first mold being composed of an active energy ray-transmitting material and having projections each having an active energy ray-shielding film at the end thereof; a first irradiation step of irradiating the resin layer; a step of pressing a second mold on the resin layer within a region where the resin layer is not exposed to the rays, the second mold being composed of an active energy ray-transmitting material and having projections each having an active energy ray-shielding film at the end thereof; and a second irradiation step of irradiating a portion of the unexposed region of the resin layer.

  • Publication number: 20120222308
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a liquid ejection head which has an ejection port ejecting a liquid and a flow path communicating with the ejection port, includes a first step of preparing a substrate on which a first layer and a second layer are evenly laminated in this order; a second step of forming a member (A) for forming the ejection port from the second layer; a third step of forming a mold for forming the flow path from the first layer; a fourth step of providing a third layer so as to cover the mold and so as to come into close contact with the member (A); and a fifth step of removing the mold to form the flow path.
