1. A method of producing liquid droplet ejection head comprising:
- joining a plate for nozzles and a flow path member plate;
first forming a flow path member having liquid supply paths and a damper portion in at least one part of a region, the region being on the plate for nozzles, corresponding to the liquid supply paths by etching a predetermined pattern into at least one of the flow path member plate, the damper portion reducing a fluctuation of an ejection amount of the liquid droplets to enable stable ejection; and
second forming a nozzle prate by performing laser processing on the plate for nozzles from a side of the flow path member to form the nozzles.

Abstract
A liquid droplet ejection head includes: a nozzle plate that has a plurality of nozzles ejecting a liquid droplet; a flow path member that includes: pressure generating chambers that communicate with the nozzles; and liquid supply paths through which liquid is supplied to the pressure generating chambers; and a damper portion that is disposed in at least one part of a region, the region being on the nozzle plate, corresponding to the liquid supply paths, the damper portion reducing a fluctuation of an ejection amount of the liquid droplets to enable stable ejection.

7. A method for producing liquid droplet ejection head comprising:
-
joining a protection member plate, a plate for nozzles and a flow path member plate; first forming the flow path member having liquid supply paths and a damper portion in at least one part of a region corresponding to the liquid supply paths by etching a predetermined pattern into at least one of the flow path member plate, the damper portion reducing a fluctuation of an ejection amount of the liquid droplets to enable stable ejection; second forming a protection member in at least one part of a periphery of a portion, where nozzles are to be formed, of a surface of the plate for nozzles on a liquid droplet ejection side, and partitioning the damper portion into a damper reinforcement portion and a damper function portion by etching a predetermined pattern into at least one part of the protection member plate; and third forming a nozzle prate by performing laser processing on the plate for nozzles from a side of the flow path member to form the nozzles. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
