Abstract
An ink-jet recording head includes a plurality of recording element substrates each having an ejection pressure generating element configured to generate pressure for ejecting ink from an ink discharge port. The plurality of recording element substrates each include a first surface on which the corresponding ejection pressure generating element is disposed and a second surface, serving as an end surface intersecting with the first surface, being at least partially formed by etching.
Claims8
A method for manufacturing an ink-jet recording head including a recording element substrate formed on a supporting member, the method comprising:
- preparing the recording element substrate, the substrate having an ejection pressure generating element disposed on a main surface of the substrate configured to generate pressure for ejecting ink, a side surface of the main surface being at least partially subjected to etching;
- bringing the etched side surface of the recording element substrate into contact with a positioning portion configured to position the recording element substrate;
- and
- fixing the recording element substrate to the supporting member while the etched side surface of the recording element substrate and the positioning portion are in contact with each other.
A method for manufacturing an ink-jet recording head, the method comprising:
- preparing first and second substrates, each including a first surface having an energy generating element for generating energy used for ejecting a liquid and a second surface intersecting with the first surface, at least a part of the second surface being formed by dry etching;
- and
- fixing the first and second substrates onto a supporting substrate so that the second surface of the first substrate and the second surface of the second substrate are opposed to each other.
