摘要： A liquid discharge head comprises a separation member for separating the discharge liquid flow paths communicated with discharge ports for discharging discharge liquid to enable discharge liquid to flow, and the bubbling liquid flow paths to enable bubbling liquid to flow, which is provided with the bubble generating areas for creating bubbles used for discharging discharge liquid from the discharge ports. This separation member is provided with the opening portions positioned to face the bubble generating areas, and displacement members provided for the separation member corresponding to the openings, having the free ends to be displaced by bubbles created on the bubble generating areas provided for the separation member. Then, with no bubbles created on the bubble generating areas, the displacement members interrupt the opening portions, and with bubbles created thereon, the free ends of the displacement members are displaced to discharge discharge liquid from the discharge ports of the head. Hence, this head can prevent discharge liquid from entering around the heat generating members at the time of bubble disappearance, and the mixture of discharge liquid and bubbling liquid when the head is left intact for a long time, while maintaining the excellent discharge efficiency by means of the displacement members thus arranged.

摘要： A liquid discharging method for discharging liquid, which uses the pressure exerted at the time of creating each of bubbles in liquid in a bubble generating area, is arranged to provide two bubble generating areas for generating bubbles in such a manner as to enable these areas to face each other at least partly, hence discharging liquid by means for the pressure thus exerted in the bubble generating areas. In this way, it becomes possible to increase the amount of liquid discharged, as well as to enhance the durability of the movable members, while stabilizing the discharge of liquid from each of the discharge openings.
