A liquid ejection method includes a step of preparing a liquid ejection head including an electrothermal transducer element (1) for generating thermal energy contributable to ejection of liquid, an ejection outlet (21) for ejecting liquid, the ejection outlet being provided at a position opposed to the electrothermal transducer element, a liquid flow path (5) in fluid communication with the ejection outlet to supply the liquid to the ejection outlet and having the electrothermal transducer element on its bottom side; a step of applying the thermal energy to the liquid to cause state change to the liquid to create a bubble (301), wherein the liquid (303) is ejected through the ejection outlet by a pressure of the bubble; wherein the bubble is first in communication with the ambience in a process of reduction of the volume of the bubble after the bubble reaches a maximum volume. <IMAGE> |
