A liquid storage container includes a container main body that is capable of storing a liquid and at least a portion of which includes a translucent outer wall; a support member that is integrally formed with the container main body; and a rotation member that is rotatably supported by the support member. The rotation member includes a float that rotates due to fluctuations in a liquid level of the liquid, and a display member that rotates in conjunction with the float and is capable of displaying a position of the float to an outside through the translucent outer wall.

Liquid storage container and method for manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing a structure that includes a substrate provided with a through hole, and a resin layer provided on a front surface of the substrate to close the through hole, includes, in order, preparing the substrate including the through hole and including a support substrate on a back surface of the substrate to close the through hole, bonding a dry film to a front surface of the substrate, the dry film including a support member and a resin layer on the support member, to close the through hole with the resin layer and turn the through hole into a closed space with the substrate, the support substrate, and the dry film, opening the through hole turned into the closed space from the support substrate side, and separating the support member from the dry film while retaining the resin layer on the front surface of the substrate.

Method of manufacturing structure

Provided is a method of manufacturing a liquid ejection head, which is capable of patterning a dry film while suppressing deformation of the dry film caused by a pressure. The method of manufacturing a liquid ejection head includes: preparing a substrate including an ejection orifice member on a first surface; forming, on an ejection orifice surface of the ejection orifice member, a protection film having communicating holes for allowing ejection orifices to communicate to outside; closing an opening of a supply port on a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface of the substrate with a dry film; and patterning the dry film by irradiating the dry film with light under a state in which the protection film is formed on the ejection orifice surface.

Method of manufacturing a liquid ejection head

A method for manufacturing a liquid discharge head includes a transferring step of transferring a dry film supported by a supporting member to a substrate having a hole, and a peeling step of peeling the supporting member off the dry film on the substrate. In the peeling step, the dry film is in contact with a wall surface defining the hole in the substrate.

Method for manufacturing liquid discharge head

A liquid ejection head has an ejection port forming region which includes liquid ejection energy generating elements arranged on a substrate, liquid supply ports each running through the substrate and having an opening at a surface of the substrate, a liquid path formed on the surface as a space containing the liquid ejection energy generating elements and the liquid supply ports therein, and ejection ports corresponding to the respective liquid ejection energy generating elements. The liquid ejection head is manufactured by forming a liquid path forming layer on the substrate using a dry film resist, forming an ejection port forming layer on the liquid path forming layer, forming a liquid path in the liquid path forming layer and ejection ports in the ejection port forming layer. The substrate has dummy holes each having an opening at a surface of the substrate outside the ejection port forming region.

Liquid ejection head manufacturing method

A method for manufacturing a liquid ejection head including the steps of preparing a substrate including, on a surface of the substrate, a layer having a plurality of openings in which opening portions of supply portions are located and which are arrayed in an array direction and another opening which is different from the plurality of openings and is located beyond the array end portion in the array direction, and attaching a dry film for forming flow passages to the substrate and the layer.

Method for manufacturing liquid ejection head

A process for producing a liquid discharge head including a substrate having a liquid supply path passing through from its first surface to second surface and an discharge port forming member having a discharge port communicating with the supply path through a flow path, the process including providing a first layer of photosensitive resin in a region covering an opening of the supply path in the first surface; forming a latent image of a pattern of the flow path in the first layer by exposure; providing a second layer of negative photosensitive resin on the first layer; curing a portion, opposing to the opening of the supply path in the first surface, of the second layer; forming a latent image of a pattern of the discharge port in the second layer by exposure; and developing latent images of patterns of the flow path and discharge port.

Process for producing liquid discharge head

A liquid ejection head includes a liquid ejection board and a liquid ejection head component disposed on the liquid ejection board. The liquid ejection board includes a substrate, an energy generating device on the substrate, a channel defining member defining a liquid channel and having a liquid ejection opening in communication with the liquid channel, a liquid supply passage in communication with the liquid channel, a liquid supply opening in communication with the liquid supply passage and having a smaller opening cross-sectional area taken in a direction perpendicular to a flow direction of a liquid than the liquid supply passage, and an opening in communication with the liquid channel. The liquid channel allows a liquid to be in contact with the energy generating device. The liquid ejection opening allows a liquid to be ejected therethrough. The liquid ejection head component closes at least a portion of the opening.

Method for producing liquid-ejection head

A liquid ejection head includes a substrate having an energy generating element arranged therein and an ejection port forming member laid as superposed above the substrate. At least one ejection port is formed so as to run through the ejection port forming member. The ejection port forming member has a concave portion including the ejection port formed therein on the surface thereof opposite to the surface thereof facing the substrate, and has a convex portion on the surface of the ejection port forming member facing the substrate so as to correspond to the concave portion.

Liquid ejection head and method of manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing a structure includes (1) positioning a first resin layer provided on a first supporting member on a substrate having a through hole, with the first resin layer facing toward the substrate, and releasing the first supporting member from the first resin layer; and (2) positioning a second resin layer provided on a second supporting member on the first resin layer from which the first supporting member has been released, with the second resin layer facing toward the first resin layer, and releasing the second supporting member from the second resin layer. A first resin layer portion that is above the through hole is removed before or simultaneously with the releasing of the first supporting member.

Method of manufacturing structure and method of manufacturing liquid ejection head

A method for manufacturing a liquid ejection head includes the steps of: preparing a substrate including an energy-generating element disposed on a first surface of the substrate and a supply path for liquid; disposing a dry film on the first surface of the substrate in such a manner that the dry film partially enters the supply path; etching the dry film from a side of the dry film facing the first surface of the substrate so that the dry film has an etched surface substantially in parallel with the first surface and covers the supply path; forming a resin layer to be a flow path member on the dry film covering the supply path; and removing the dry film covering the supply path.
