LIQUID EJECTING HEAD, LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAID LIQUID EJECTING HEAD

摘要

A liquid ejecting head for a liquid ejecting apparatus for performing a recording operation by ejecting liquid from the liquid ejecting head includes as essential components a base plate having a plurality of liquid ejecting elements, and a grooved member having a plurality of grooves (4) formed thereon corresponding to the liquid ejecting elements. The grooved member is connected to the base plate and composed of a grooved element and a supporting member (2). A liquid ejecting apparatus operable for performing a recording operation includes as essential components a liquid ejecting head of the foregoing type and a signal supplying unit for supplying a series of signals to the liquid ejecting head for activating a plurality of liquid ejecting elements. A method of producing a liquid ejecting head of the foregoing type is practices by way of the steps of preparing a base plate having a plurality of liquid ejecting elements, forming a plurality of supporting portions (1) on a supporting member (2), forming a grooves member including a grooved element (3), and then connecting the grooved element (3) to a resin member constituting a part of the grooved member via the supporting portions (1).
