An ink jet recording head comprises a ceiling plate (4); and a substrate (5) on a base plate substrate (1,2) having on the upper face thereof a plurality of discharge energy generating elements for discharging ink. The ceiling plate (4) is provided with grooves to form a plurality of ink flow paths (11) communicated with a plurality of ink discharge ports, respectively, and a recessed portion to form a common liquid chamber (12) communicated with the plurality of ink flow paths (11). The base plate substrate (1,2) is formed by a first base plate substrate (1) and a second base plate substrate (2), and the thermal expansion coefficient of the first base plate substrate (1) directly in contact with the substrate (5) having the discharge energy generating elements arranged therefor is smaller than that of the second base plate substrate (2), and the first base plate substrate (1) is formed by material having the thermal expansion coefficient closer to that of the substrate (5) having the discharge energy generating elements arranged therefor, and at the same time, the first base plate substrate (1) is supported by the reverse side of the surface of the second base plate substrate (2). <IMAGE> |
