PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid discharge head having long-term reliability, a manufacturing method therefor, and an image forming apparatus equipped with the liquid drop discharge head. SOLUTION: By forming a nozzle 4 after an intermediate layer 31 of SiO<SB>2</SB>is formed on the discharge side surface of a nozzle plate 3, and forming a water-repellent layer 32 on the surface of the intermediate layer 31 by a vacuum deposition method, the nozzle inner wall side of the intermediate layer 31 is covered with a part 32a of the water repellent layer 32 and the nozzle inner wall side of the intermediate layer 31 is prevented from getting directly exposed to an ink.
