Patent ID: 7789495

Claim:
A liquid ejection head comprising: a flow-channel forming substrate having a pressure generating chamber which communicates with nozzle openings for injecting liquid and a liquid supply channel which communicates with one end of the pressure generating chamber in terms of a first direction so as to have a first length for supplying liquid to the pressure generating chamber; and a pressure generating unit that causes the change in pressure in the pressure generating chamber, wherein the liquid supply channel is formed by narrowing the width of the pressure generating chamber in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction so as to have a second length shorter than the first length, a stepped surface is formed between the side surface of the pressure generating chamber in the second direction and the side surface of the liquid supply channel in the second direction, and wherein a bridge is provided at a corner defined by the stepped surface, the side surface of the pressure generating chamber in the second direction on the stepped surface side, and one of the surfaces of the pressure generating chamber in a third direction which is orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction of the flow-channel forming substrate for bridging the corner and is comprised of the same material as the flow-channel forming substrate.
