US Patent 11485135 Print element substrate, printhead, and printing apparatus

A print element substrate, comprising a plurality of heating elements, a plurality of detection elements, each configured to detect a temperature of a corresponding heating element, a first current generation unit, a second current generation unit, and a signal output unit, wherein one of the first and second current generation units supplies a current to a first detection element, the other supplies a current to a second detection element, and the signal output unit outputs a signal according to a potential difference between one terminal of the first detection element on a side where a potential variation occurs upon supply of the current and one terminal of the second detection element on a side where a potential variation occurs upon supply of the current.
