LIQUID DISCHARGE HEAD AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

Provided is a liquid discharge head comprising a discharge port-forming member having discharge ports for discharging a liquid and having a surface provided with a liquid-repellent film. The liquid-repellent film includes a layer containing a resin composition containing at least one of polyurethane and polyrotaxane disposed on the discharge port-forming member and a layer containing a fluorine compound and having a thickness of 10 nm or less disposed on the resin composition-containing layer. When a scratch-forming tool, a diamond tip having a tip diameter of 15 μm, is pressed onto the liquid-repellent film with a load of 0.098 N (10 gf) and is reciprocated ten times, the depth of a scratch formed on the surface of the liquid-repellent film is smaller than the thickness of the fluorine compound-containing layer.
