Abstract: A liquid ejection head includes a liquid chamber configured to contain liquid to be ejected from a nozzle, a liquid ejection member including the nozzle, and an energy generating element configured to provide energy to the liquid contained in the liquid chamber. The energy generating element ejects the liquid contained in the liquid chamber from the nozzle as a liquid droplet. A depression is formed on a surface of the liquid ejection member around the nozzle such that an opening of the depression has a width greater than a width of an opening of the nozzle and the nozzle is positioned at the bottom of the depression. The interior angle of the bottom corner of the depression is determined to be greater than 90 degrees.

Abstract: A head module includes a head chip provided with an array of heat generating elements, a nozzle sheet provided with nozzles, a barrier layer for forming ink liquid chambers, a module frame adhered to the nozzle sheet to thereby support the nozzle sheet and provided with a head chip arranging hole for arranging the head chip therein, and a buffer tank which is so disposed as to cover the head chip arranging hole from a surface, on the opposite side of the surface of adhesion to the nozzle sheet, of the module frame and which is for forming a common liquid conduit communicated with all the ink chambers of the head chip.

Abstract: A print head is provided with at least ink-pressurizing cells, heating elements, and ink-ejection nozzles. In addition, the print head includes substrate members which form side surfaces and one end surface of the ink-pressurizing cells, and which are provided with the heating elements; a nozzle-formed member which forms the other end surface of the ink-pressurizing cells, and in which the ink-ejection nozzles, which individually correspond to the ink-pressurizing cells, are formed; and a head frame which supports the nozzle-formed member.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus can array dots in line even when nozzles are arranged in line and ink droplets are ejected from a plurality of liquid ejecting parts with a time difference. The liquid ejecting apparatus includes a head in which the liquid ejecting parts are arranged in line in the X-direction, and in which a plurality of heating resistors are juxtaposed in the direction perpendicular to the Y-direction in each of the liquid ejecting parts.

Abstract: An inkjet print head includes one nozzle sheet (23) and a plurality of head chips (25) including a plurality of heaters. The nozzle sheet (23) is formed of an electroformed metal layer made of nickel or a material comprising nickel, and has discharge nozzle rows for respective colors disposed so that the discharge nozzles are in staggered arrangements and so that each set of discharge nozzles partly overlaps another set of discharge nozzles in a sheet-feed direction. The head chips are positioned at and affixed to a growth surface side of the nozzle sheet (23) in staggered arrangements so that the positions of the discharge nozzles and the positions of the heaters correspond to each other. Accordingly, reduction in printing quality caused by displacement of any of the discharge nozzles is prevented from occurring, and landing positions of discharged ink on a recording sheet are stabilized.

Abstract: A manufacturing method for a print head, in which a substrate member provided with heating elements is laminated to a nozzle-formed member in which ink-ejection nozzles are formed, includes the step of laminating a correcting member having approximately the same coefficient of linear expansion as the substrate member to the nozzle-formed member. A nozzle interval L1 of a nozzle-formed member which doesn't laminate a correcting member at an operating temperature T0 is determined as =L2(1+&agr;2&Dgr;T)/(1+&agr;1&Dgr;T), wherein L2 is the nozzle interval and a heater interval at the operating temperature after the print head is completed; &agr;1 and is the coefficient of linear expansion of the nozzle-formed member; &agr;2 is the coefficient of linear expansion of the correcting member; T1 is the laminating temperature of the nozzle-formed member and the correcting member; and &Dgr;T is the difference between the laminating temperature T1 and the operating temperature T0.
