Abstract

A liquid ejecting method includes providing a substrate having a heat generating surface for generating heat for generating a bubble in liquid; providing a movable member having a free end; providing an ejection outlet for ejecting the liquid using the generation of the bubble, the ejection outlet being opposed to the substrate with the movable member interposed therebetween; disposing the free end of the movable member at a downstream side with respect to a direction of flow of the liquid to the ejection outlet; and wherein the bubble displaces the free end of the movable member, and grows toward the ejection outlet to eject the liquid.
