Abstract

A liquid jet recording head comprises a liquid discharging portion having an orifice for discharging liquid to form liquid droplets and a heat acting zone communicated with said orifice at which heat energy for forming flying liquid droplets acts on the liquid, and an electrothermal transducer, having at least a pair of confronting electrodes connected electrically to a heat generating resistance layer provided on a substrate thereby to form a heat generating portion between these electrodes, which includes a protecting layer which is formed by modification of the surfaces of said electrodes and is made into an insulating inorganic material.
