摘要： A liquid discharging method for a liquid head discharge head. The head has discharge ports, liquid flow paths, bubble generating areas, bubble generating means, liquid supply ports connecting the flow paths with a common liquid supply chamber, and a movable member in the flow paths supported with a minute gap to the supply ports. The area of the movable member surrounded at least by its free end and both sides continued therefrom is larger than the opening area of the supply ports. The method includes the step of setting a period for the movable member to substantially close the opening area during the period from the application of a driving voltage to the bubble generating means to the substantial termination of isotropical growth of the entire bubble by the bubble generating means. Growth of the bubble component in the direction opposite the discharge port can be suppressed, improving liquid refill.

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.
