Abstract

Abstract An ink jet recording head comprises a discharge port (5) for discharging ink therethrough, a liquid path (4) communicating with the discharge port and having a section at which energy for discharging ink effects ink and a discharge energy generating member (7) for generating energy for discharging ink. The liquid path (4) and the discharge port (5) are defined in such a manner that a portion defining an ink flow to the section of the liquid path is parallel to and not on the same straight line of a center axis of an opening of the discharge port (5), and the discharge port are defined by the same material.
