  • Publication number: 20240042758
    Abstract: Provided is a technique which can inspect liquid ejection energy without changing electric wiring on an ejection element substrate of a liquid ejection head or ejecting liquid from the liquid ejection head. A liquid ejection head as an ejection-energy inspection target includes an ejection element substrate having a substrate, a heat generation portion having an electrothermal converter on the substrate, a protective film covering the electrothermal converter, and an organic layer covering the electrothermal converter and the protective film. For this liquid ejection head, an electrical resistance value of the electrothermal converter is acquired as a first measurement result, and the film thickness of a film thickness measurement portion of the ejection element substrate where the protective film is exposed is acquired as a second measurement result. Further, information on ejection energy needed to eject liquid from the ejection port is obtained based on the first and second measurement results.
