Abstract:
A liquid ejecting method using a liquid ejection head having a movable member disposed faced to a bubble generating region having a bubble generating means for generating a bubble, the bubble generating region being disposed between side walls, and having a free end at a downstream side thereof with respect to a flow direction of liquid, wherein the free end of the movable member is displaced by a pressure generated by the bubble generated by said bubble generating means in said bubble generating region, and the pressure is directed toward an ejection outlet by the movable member to eject the liquid through the ejection outlet, comprising the steps of:generating a bubble in said bubble generating region by activating said bubble generating means;moving said movable member in a direction away from said bubble generating means by the pressure generated by said bubble generating means;contacting the bubble to said movable member after said moving step; andreducing the bubble and returning the movable member toward said bubble generating means.
