Patent ID: 8070268

Claim:
A liquid ejecting head comprising: a flow channel unit including a flow-channel-formed substrate that defines liquid flow channels including pressure chambers communicating with nozzle openings and a sealing plate formed with a diaphragm that varies the capacities of the pressure chambers and a liquid introduction hole, the sealing plate being joined to the flow-channel-formed substrate and defining lines of liquid flow channels including pressure chambers; and a head case including a storage chamber that accommodates a pressure generator for displacing the diaphragm and a case flow channel for supplying liquid to the liquid flow channel of the flow channel unit, the diaphragm being arranged at an opening of the storage chamber on the bottom surface side and the flow channel unit being joined to the head case in a state in which the case flow channel and the liquid flow channel are communicated with each other via the liquid introduction hole wherein the sealing plate is formed of a composite plate member formed by adhering an electrically conductive supporting substrate which is joined to the head case and an insulative elastic film joined to the flow-channel-formed substrate to each other, wherein the inner diameter of the liquid introduction hole at least on the side of the supporting substrate is set to be larger than the inner diameter of the case flow channel to form a shoulder portion between the case flow channel and the liquid introduction hole, and wherein an insulating material is secured in the shoulder portion.
