When a package in which a tank 1 is wrapped is opened, caused is an action of reversing vertical positions of an end face of the tank 1 having an ink supply portion 10, and an end face opposite to the foregoing end face. Along with this action, air existing inside the tank 1 ascends, and then is separated by air separating portions. Thus, a coloring material component inside the tank is stirred.

To provide an ink filling method for pouring ink into an ink tank to be mounted to a printer, an ink filling apparatus, and the ink tank to be properly filled with the ink by the ink filling method. The ink filling method includes the steps of: pouring a predetermined amount of ink into a housing in a state in which an ink holding member is opened to the atmosphere, and filling the ink holding member with the ink by imparting, to the ink poured, an inertial force, which is greater than a sum of a static ink holding force of the ink holding member and a dynamic resistant force to movement of the ink.

In a configuration to inform conditions of an ink tank such as an ink residual quantity by use of a light emitting portion such as a light emitting diode, a display in a position easily viewable to a user is achieved without requiring electric wiring that hinders user visibility and operability. A display section for displaying information by letting light out is separated from a light emitting portion, and a light guiding portion for achieving optical connection between both of the constituents is provided on an ink tank holder. In this way, it is possible to dispose the light emitting portion and the display section respectively in optimum locations, and to ensure freedom of disposing the display section in a position achieving fine user visibility.

A liquid container that can present various information using illumination of a light-emitting unit includes an IC package having a storage element and the light-emitting unit. The storage element stores information used for controlling the amount of light emitted from an LED included in the light-emitting unit, so that variation in brightness of the light-emitting unit can be reduced and the information can be adequately presented.
