Abstract: A liquid drop ejecting head includes a a nozzle plate to form nozzles, a liquid chamber substrate including one surface bonded to the nozzle plate and forming liquid chambers provided for the nozzles and communicating with the nozzles, a diaphragm bonded to the other surface of the liquid chamber substrate to form a part of each liquid chamber, and a pressure generating unit giving pressure oscillation to the diaphragm in accordance with a liquid drop eject signal to exert pressure on a liquid in each liquid chamber through the diaphragm. In the liquid drop ejecting head, a protection film is formed on an inner side wall of each liquid chamber by a chemical reaction of fluorocarbon and silicon fluoride oxide of a by-product formed on the inner side wall of the liquid chamber with the formation of the liquid chambers in the liquid chamber substrate.

Abstract: A liquid ejection head includes a nozzle formation member having a liquid repellent layer disposed on a droplet ejection face of a nozzle substrate in which one or more nozzle orifices is formed to eject droplets. The liquid repellent layer includes a first sub-layer and a second sub-layer. The first sub-layer contains a higher proportion of low-molecular-weight molecules than the second sub-layer. The second sub-layer contains a higher proportion of high-molecular-weight molecules than the first sub-layer. Both the first sub-layer and the second sub-layer are exposed on a surface of the nozzle formation member.

Abstract: A disclosed droplet discharging head includes: a common liquid chamber; a plurality of liquid flow paths branching from the common liquid chamber; a nozzle communicating with the liquid flow path; an actuator substrate having a heater disposed in the vicinity of the nozzle communicating with the liquid flow path; and an additional flow path on a surface above the liquid flow path in the vertical direction, the additional flow path communicating with the common liquid chamber.
