Patent ID: 8556384

Claim:
A droplet ejection head comprising: a plurality of head members each of which has a nozzle face where a plurality of nozzles for ejecting droplets are formed and an attaching face which is a back side face with respect to the nozzle face, the head members being arranged at a predetermined interval in a longitudinal direction of an elongated substrate by attaching the attachment faces to the elongated substrate; a plurality of dummy members each of which has a dummy nozzle face and an attaching face which is a back side face with respect to the dummy nozzle face, the dummy members being placed at both end sides of the elongated substrate in the longitudinal direction so that second gaps between the outmost head members and the dummy members are formed; a sealant that is filled in each of first gaps between the head members and the second gaps, bonds the head members with each other and the dummy members with the outmost head members, and seals the first gaps and the second gaps; and a plurality of elastic members that are disposed in the first gaps and the second gaps, and prevent the sealant from leaking to the attachment face of the head member and the nozzle face from the first gaps and the second gaps before the sealant solidifies.
