摘要： A liquid discharging method comprises the step of displacing the free end of the movable member following the creation of air bubble in the air bubble generating area. For this method, the fulcrum of the movable member is positioned on the side different from liquid discharging side with respect to the displacement area for the free end of the movable member to be displaceable, and at the same time, the free end thereof is arranged to face the effective bubbling area positioned on the downstream side of the central portion of the length of the effective bubbling area that forms the bubble generating area in the direction of the movable member from the fulcrum to the free end thereof, and a part of the effective bubbling area positioned to face the free end of the movable member on the downstream side of the effective bubbling area is arranged to face the displacement area directly. Thus, the initiation of the displacement of the free end of the movable member is effectuated quickly and reliably, and the pressure exerted by the air bubble creation is led to the discharge port side and the fulcrum side of the movable member sufficiently at the time of bubbling, and the development of air bubble that follows is directed to the discharge port side more reliably and efficiently.

摘要： A liquid jet head is provided with discharge ports for discharging liquid, liquid flow paths conductively connected with the discharge ports, air bubble generating areas for creating air bubbles in the liquid, and movable members arranged to face the air bubble generating areas, each having a free end in a position relatively near to the discharge port with respect to a fulcrum thereof. This movable member is inclined to position the free end of the movable member to release the air bubble generating area partly to the discharge port so as to enable the tangential line of the free end of the movable member on the side of the air bubble generating area or the extended line thereof to reach directly the discharge port formation area having the discharge port on the liquid flow path side before the creation of air bubble on the air bubble generating area, and with this position as reference, the movable member is displaced following the creation of air bubble on the air bubble generating area. With this arrangement, the liquid discharging efficiency and speed are significantly enhanced as compared with the conventional liquid jet head, and due to more stabilized discharge of droplets from the discharge ports, the quality of recorded images is improved.

摘要： A liquid ejection method involves supplying liquid along a heat generating element disposed along a flow path from upstream of the heat generating element, applying heat generated by the heat generating element to the thus supplied liquid to generate a bubble, thus moving a free end of a movable member having the free end adjacent the ejection outlet side by pressure produced by the bubble, the movable member facing the heat generating element, supplying, to a heat generating element for applying thermal energy to the bubble generating region, a driving pulse divided into a first pulse and an adjacent second pulse with interval time therebetween, pre-heating the liquid by the first pulse to an extent insufficient to eject liquid through the ejection outlet, and generating a bubble by heating the liquid by the second pulse to eject the liquid through the ejection outlet. The method also includes ejecting liquid in an amount determined by controlling a degree of pre-heating of the liquid by changing at least one of a width of the first pulse or the interval time. The change rate of the ejection amount of the liquid increases non-linearly with an increase of the width of the first pulse or an increase of the interval time period. Recording heads and apparatuses control the ejection amount of liquid in like manner.
