ABSTRACT:
An ink-jet recording head which is operative to efficiently remove air bubbles from the pressure generating chambers and efficiently supply ink to the pressure generating chambers. First pressure generating chambers and second pressure generating chambers which communicate with a reservoir through first ink supply ports and second ink supply ports, and communicate with each other through ink supplying passages, are formed on both sides of a passage forming substrate. The first ink supply ports are formed on one side of the passage forming substrate that contains a discharge orifice, and the second ink supply ports are formed on the other side of the passage forming substrate that faces an elastic plate. A flow resistance of each of the second ink supply ports is larger than that of each of the first ink supply ports, whereby ink also flows into the second pressure generating chambers located closer to a nozzle plate through the ink supplying passages. With such a structure, air bubbles remaining in the first pressure generating chambers, which are formed on the surface of the ink passage forming substrate that faces a piezoelectric transducing element, easily move to the second pressure generating chambers located closer to the discharge orifice which serves as an ink discharging port, and can readily be discharged out of the recording head at the time of maintenance.
