A thin plate stacked structure is formed of a plurality of thin plates, which
include
at least one liquid flow passage thin plate provided with a liquid flow passage
having a predetermined pattern formed on at least one surface, are stacked with
an adhesive. The stacked structure further includes a release groove, an air release
hole and an opening that is formed on the thin plate disposed at an outermost layer
of the thin plate stack. The air release hole has a diameter which is larger than
the width of the release groove and which is larger than the opening disposed on
the outermost layer. Any excessive adhesive is accumulated in the air release hole,
and it is possible to greatly decrease the amount of the adhesive outflowing to
the outside of a cavity unit.
