Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a liquid jet recording head, comprising the steps of providing a liquid jet recording head sub-assembly; polishing a surface of the sub-assembly on which the discharge openings are to be formed; and removing the filler from the liquid passages. Method further comprises a step of curing the filler to become harder than the pencil hardness H before the polishing step. The present invention further provides a liquid jet recording head manufactured by the above method, and a liquid jet recording apparatus including such recording head.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 100 words
A method for manufacturing a liquid jet recording head, comprising the steps of providing a liquid jet recording head sub-assembly by forming a liquid passage wall forming member for forming walls of liquid passages communicating with respective liquid discharge openings between a substrate and a lid plate and by filling a filler into said liquid passages; polishing a surface of said sub-assembly on which said discharge openings are to be formed; and removing the filler from said liquid passages, characterized by that a step of curing said filler to become harder than the pencil hardness H before said polishing step.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 64 words
A method for manufacturing a liquid jet recording head according to claim 1, wherein said filler comprises a solid layer made of resin soluble to a removing liquid, said liquid passage wall forming member is disposed to cover said solid layer and is made of active energy ray curable material, and said lid plate is made of material permeable to the active energy rays.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 57 words
A method for manufacturing a liquid jet recording head according to claim 1, wherein said liquid passage wall forming member comprises photosensitive compound, and said filler comprises material which can be filled in said liquid passages after said substrate, said liquid passage wall forming member and said lid plate were laminated and which can be solidified later.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 13 words
A liquid jet recording head manufactured by the method according to claim 1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 13 words
A liquid jet recording head manufactured by the method according to claim 2.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 13 words
A liquid jet recording head manufactured by the method according to claim 3.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 33 words
A liquid jet recording head according to claim 4, wherein electro-thermal conversion members acting as energy generating bodies for generating thermal energy utilized to discharge liquid are arranged in the respective liquid passages.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 34 words
A liquid jet recording head according to claim 4, wherein it is of full line type in which a plurality of discharge openings are arranged along the whole recordable area of a recording medium.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 25 words
A liquid jet recording apparatus comprising an ink jet recording head according to claim 4, and a member on which said recording head is mounted.
