A liquid discharge head comprises: a discharge element substrate including a discharge port for discharging liquid and a discharge energy generating element; an electrical wiring substrate for inputting an electrical signal to the discharge energy generating element; a supporting mechanism for supporting the discharge element substrate and the electrical wiring substrate; an electrical connection portion for electrically connecting the discharge element substrate with the electrical wiring substrate; a sealant coated on the electrical connection portion; and a film-like member coating the electrical connection portion along the shape of the electrical connection portion through the sealant. Thus, the liquid discharge head resultingly includes the electrical connection portion on which the height of the sealant is suppressed and lowered sufficiently so as to prevent a problem that the electrical connection portion is damaged and/or exposed due to its height.

A method for manufacturing an ink jet recording head, which is provided with a recording elemental substrate having discharge port group for discharging ink, an electric wiring substrate electrically connected with the recording elemental substrate, and a supporting member for holding and fixing the recording elemental substrate and the electrical wiring substrate, comprises the steps of injecting thermohardening filler into a filler retaining portion communicated with the sealing area requiring sealing; filling the area with the thermohardening filler injected into the filler retaining portion by heating the filler to flow; and hardening the filled thermohardening filler. With the structure thus arranged, it is possible to eliminate any electrical and structural defects in order to materialize a highly reliable and compact ink jet recording head.

Disadvantages relating to ink refill specific to an increase in a number of ink ejection openings in an ink jet print head is eliminated to provide a particularly excellent fast-response capability and ejection performance. More specifically, when an ink is supplied to a liquid chamber via an ink supply path and an ink supply opening formed in a support member and a print element substrate in a print head, and is then ejected from ejection openings, a pressure of an ink effected upon the ejection is transmitted to the ink supply path. This pressure, however, can be absorbed by air chambers via communication paths to reduce adverse effects of the pressure on ink refill in the liquid path after the ejection. In this case, since the air chambers and other components are structured to be closed with respect to the atmosphere, problems such as an increase in viscosity which are associated with communication of the air chambers and other components with the atmosphere can be prevented.

An ink jet recording head is provided with a recording element substrate having a plurality of discharge energy generating elements for generating energy utilized for discharging ink droplets, a ceiling plate arranged on the recording element substrate having an ink chamber formed to retain ink in the ink paths corresponding to the plurality of discharge energy generating elements, and a base plate for use of a recording element substrate to hold the recording element substrate. For this ink jet recording head, the recording element substrate, the ceiling plate, and the base plate are structured by the same material, thus preventing the substrate and plates from being damaged by warping, cracking, and other causes due to temperature changes or the like.

The present invention provides an ink-jet head, an ink-jet cartridge and an ink-jet apparatus, which can provide certain and stable electrical connection in a separable manner between an energy generation element unit and a driving element unit. The ink-jet head includes the energy generation element unit U.sub.E having signal wires for supplying electric signals for heat generating resistors, and connecting electrodes projectingly provided at the ends of the signal wires positioned on the mating surface F.sub.E, and the driving element unit U.sub.D having signal wires for feeding electric signals from the driving elements for driving head generating resistors, and connecting electrodes projectingly provided at the ends of the signal wires positioned on the mating surface F.sub.D. The connecting electrodes are connected to each other by mutually mating the mating surfaces F.sub.E and F.sub.D of the energy generation element unit U.sub.E and the driving element unit U.sub.D. Projecting portion is formed on at least one of the mating surfaces F.sub.E for maintaining mating interval between two units U.sub.E and U.sub.D.

An ink jet head comprises a plurality of ink liquid paths in which energy generating elements are formed, a common liquid chamber communicated with the plurality of ink liquid paths, and an air chamber which is communicated with the common liquid chamber via a communication section formed at substantially a central portion of the air chamber and which ls formed along the longitudinal direction of the common liquid chamber. This arrangement of the ink jet head enables air in the air chamber to act on refilling behavior of ink in each of the ink liquid paths so that refilling in each of the ink liquid paths is not delayed.
