Abstract:
A liquid ejecting head for ejecting liquid with generation of a bubble, comprising:a heat generating element for generating heat to form the bubble in a liquid flow path communicating with an ejecting outlet for ejecting liquid, said heat generating element including a resistance layer and a pair of electrodes connected to said resistance layer; and a movable member having a fulcrum and a free end located downstream of said fulcrum relative to a liquid flow direction in said liquid flow path, said movable member being disposed facing said heat generating element with a space between said movable member and said heat generating element, said movable member being movable by pressure produced by generation of the bubble from a first position to a second position that is further from said heat generating element than the first position, wherein an edge of said free end of said movable member extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of flow of the liquid to be supplied to said heat generating element.
