Liquid discharging method, liquid discharging head, liquid discharging head cartridge and liquid discharging apparatus

摘要

This specification discloses a liquid discharging method of discharging liquid from a discharge port by the use of a liquid discharging head having a flow path communicating with the discharge port, and a discharge energy generating element provided in the flow path for causing energy for discharging the liquid to act on the liquid, having the step of driving the discharge energy generating element to thereby discharge the liquid from the discharge port, and the step of displacing the free end of the movable member of a fluid element having an air bubble producing area disposed upstream of the discharge energy generating element in the flow path for producing an air bubble, and a movable member provided in facing relationship with the air bubble producing area and provided with a fulcrum and a free end, by producing an air bubble in the air bubble producing area. The specification also discloses a liquid discharging head for carrying out such liquid discharging method. The specification further discloses a liquid discharging head cartridge having such liquid discharging head and a liquid container holding therein the liquid to be supplied to the liquid discharging head. The specification furthermore discloses an ink jet recording apparatus having such liquid discharging head and means for conveying a recording medium receiving the ink discharged from the liquid discharging head.
