A liquid ejection head is constituted by a liquid ejection substrate comprising a liquid supply port for supplying liquid, an ejection outlet for ejecting the liquid supplied from the liquid supply port, and ejection energy generating devices for generating energy for ejecting the liquid; and a supporting member having a supporting surface for supporting the liquid ejection substrate and a liquid supply hole for supplying liquid to the liquid ejection substrate, the liquid supply hole communicating with the liquid supply port of the liquid ejection substrate to form a communicating portion, a periphery of which is sealed by a sealant. The liquid supply hole of the supporting member has an opening larger than that of the liquid supply port of the liquid ejection substrate. The support member has an inner wall portion including an edge line portion defined by the liquid supply hole on a side where the liquid ejection substrate is to be disposed. The inner wall portion is covered with the sealant.

Liquid ejection chips 101, each having a ejection port 103, a supply port 104 communicating with the ejection port 103 by way of a flow channel 108 and a heater arranged in the flow channel 108, are bonded to a single chip plate 102 to form a two-dimensional array. As a result, a liquid ejection unit having a plurality of ejection ports 103 and a plurality of supply ports 104 is formed. As the heaters are driven while probe solutions are supplied to the respective supply ports 104, the probe solutions are ejected from the ejection ports 103 to the outside under the pressure of bubbles. The probe solutions of mutually different types are ejected respectively from the ejection ports 103 and made to adhere to a solid-phase substrate. Thus, a desired probe array can be manufactured.

An ink jet recording head includes a plurality of recording element substrates, a supply port, a supporting member for supporting the recording element substrates, an electric contact substrate fixed to the supporting member, and an electric wiring tape connected to the recording element substrates and to the electric contact substrate. The electric contact substrate has a plurality of input terminals that are electrically connected to recording elements of the recording element substrates via the electric wiring tape, and are also electrically connected to terminals of a recording apparatus body. The electric contact substrate is wider than the electric wiring tape. If m equals the maximum number of input terminals arranged in the lateral direction on the electric contact substrate, and n equals the maximum number of input terminals arranged in the longitudinal direction on the electric contact substrate, then m>n.

A liquid container includes a negative pressure generating member containing chamber which contains therein a negative pressure generating member formed of a fiber material and provided with a liquid supplying portion and an atmosphere communication portion. A liquid containing chamber, provided with a communicating portion communicating with the negative pressure generating member containing chamber, forms a substantially hermetically sealed space and stores therein liquid to be supplied to the negative pressure generating member. A partition wall for partitioning the negative pressure generating member containing chamber and the liquid containing chamber and forming the communicating portion, is provided with a gas introduction blocking unit which cooperates with the partition wall and the liquid contained in the negative pressure generating member containing chamber to block the introduction of gas from the communicating portion into the liquid containing chamber, except during the supply of the liquid from the liquid supplying portion to the outside.

A liquid storing container attachable and detachable to and from a recording device includes a negative pressure producing member storage chamber which has a bottom wall and opposed side walls and which accommodates a negative pressure producing member and is equipped with a liquid supplying section in the bottom wall and an atmosphere communication section. A partition wall separates the negative pressure producing member storage chamber from a liquid storage chamber and defines a communicating hole for establishing communication therebetween. A path in the vicinity of the communicating hole on the negative pressure producing member storage chamber side introduces the atmosphere from the negative pressure producing member storage chamber into the liquid storage chamber. The negative pressure producing member is made with a fiber material having directionality and the communication hole is offset from the bottom wall.

摘要:
An inkjet print head for which an ink flow path formation member, arranged on a printing element board, is prevented from being peeled off or being damaged, and the printing element board in an appropriate state can be mounted on a support member. According to the present invention, an ink flow path formation member is arranged on one face of a printing element board, and a peripheral area extending outward from the ink flow path formation member is prepared. Since pressure is applied to the peripheral area using a mounting tool, to bond the first terminals of the printing element board to the electrode terminals of the support member, damage to the ink flow path formation member, caused by the mounting tool, can be prevented.
