Abstract:
An ink jet recording head comprising:a nozzle forming member provided with a plurality of nozzle orifices for jetting ink; a channel forming substrate provided with a plurality of pressure generating chambers communicated with the associated nozzle orifices, one face of which is bonded to the nozzle forming member; a plurality of piezoelectric elements provided on an face of the channel forming substrate which is opposed to the face bonded to the nozzle forming substrate with a vibration plate in between for changing the associated pressure generating chambers in volume thereof; and a reservoir forming member bonded to the face of the channel forming substrate on which the piezoelectric elements are provided, the reservoir forming member having a reservoir section forming at least a part of a reservoir communicated with the pressure generating chambers for supplying ink thereto, and a piezoelectric element holding section for defining a space in an area facing the piezoelectric elements such an extent that motion of the respective piezoelectric elements is exhibited while sealing the space hermetically.
