Ink jet head, ink jet cartridge, ink jet apparatus, and method of manufacturing the same ink jet head

摘要

An ink jet head composed of a top plate (2) having grooves for forming a plurality of ink passages (9) in an arranged condition and a recess section for forming a liquid chamber (10) communicating with the ink passages and a base plate (3) for establishing the plurality of ink passages and the liquid chamber in a state joined to the top plate. On the base plate, ejection energy generating elements (7) are placed for ejecting an ink. In addition, a supporting member (13) is used for supporting a surface of the base plate opposite to a surface thereof on which the ejection energy generating elements lie. The supporting member is made of a ceramic burned material. This construction is capable of joining the base plate and the supporting member smoothly in parallel with each other so that the ejection energy generating elements are accurately aligned with the plurality of ink passages made on a top plate to achieve a high-quality recording without the occurrence of troubles such as poor ink impact on a record medium. <IMAGE>
