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.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A liquid ejection head comprising:a substrate having a heat generating surface for generating heat for generating a bubble in a liquid;a movable member having a free end and a fulcrum, the free end being disposed downstream of the fulcrum, the movable member and the heat generating surface having a space therebetween;an ejection outlet for ejecting the liquid using the generation of the bubble, the ejection outlet being opposed to the substrate with said movable member interposed therebetween;an opposing member cooperable with the movable member to direct the bubble toward the ejection outlet, wherein said opposing member opposes to such a side of the movable member as is near to the heat generating surface when the free end of the movable member is displaced by the bubble; anda fluid flow path through which, as the bubble collapses, the fluid flows downstream and at least partway beneath said movable member into the space,wherein the movable member directs the growing bubble toward the ejection outlet in a direction substantially perpendicular to the heat generating surface.
