Abstract: A liquid ejection head includes an ejection port member that includes an ejection port that ejects a liquid, an energy generating element that generates energy for ejecting the liquid from the ejection port, a terminal electrically connected to the energy generating element, and a substrate portion that supports the ejection port member, the energy generating element, and the terminal. The terminal is connected to a wire member that supplies electric power that drives the energy generating element to the energy generating element, the substrate portion includes a hole portion formed from a surface of the substrate portion on a side opposite to a surface of the substrate portion on which the terminal is provided to a surface where the terminal is exposed, and an area of the surface where the terminal is exposed is smaller than an area of an opening of the hole portion.

Abstract: Liquid ejection head includes a substrate, a piezoelectric element provided on the substrate, an ejection port forming member provided on the substrate carrying the piezoelectric element. The ejection port forming member has an ejection port and forms a pressure chamber with the substrate. A first thin film is arranged between the substrate and the piezoelectric element to produce a space between the substrate and the first thin film. A second thin film is arranged on the piezoelectric element. The first thin film is arranged so as not to contact the lateral (edge) surface of the piezoelectric element and has a higher rigidity than the second thin film.

Abstract: A liquid ejection head includes a substrate, a piezoelectric element above the substrate, an orifice forming member above the substrate on the piezoelectric-element-provided-side, in which the orifice forming member has an ejection orifice for ejecting liquid and defines a pressure chamber between the orifice forming member and the substrate, and the pressure chamber communicates with the ejection orifice and includes the piezoelectric element therein, a first thin film provided between the substrate and piezoelectric element and defining a space between the first film and the substrate, and a second thin film on the piezoelectric element on the side opposite to the first film side and differing from the first film in rigidity. A communicating port is formed in the substrate in a region facing the space, communicates with the space through an opening having a smaller area than the area of the region, and is closed at an end.

Abstract: A liquid ejection head includes a plurality of liquid ejection units, each including a plate-like piezoelectric element, a first substrate and a second substrate laid one on the other in this order, the units being laid one on the other. The first substrate defines a plurality of pressure chambers for storing liquid, each of the pressure chambers communicating with an ejection port for ejecting liquid. At least either the first substrate or the second substrate defines a first liquid chamber, the first liquid chamber being either one of a feed chamber for feeding liquid to the pressure chambers and a recovery chamber for recovering liquid from the pressure chambers. The second substrate defines a second liquid chamber, the second liquid chamber being the other one of the feed chamber and the recovery chamber.

Abstract: A liquid ejection head includes a print element substrate including multiple ejection openings, pressure chambers, a common flow path, and pumps, the pumps being configured to circulate liquid between the common flow path and the pressure chamber; and a flow path member laminated to the print element substrate. The flow path member includes a supply flow path and a collection flow path, the supply flow path being configured to supply liquid to the print element substrate, and the collection flow path being configured to collect liquid that is not ejected. The supply flow path and the collection flow path have liquid connection with the same common flow path. A circulating pump generates a flow of liquid flowing in an order of the supply flow path, the common flow path, and the collection flow path, the circulating pump being provided at a position different from the print element substrate.
