  • Publication number: 20200307213
    Abstract: A liquid ejection head includes pressure chambers arrayed in an array direction, a supply manifold extending in the array direction, a return manifold disposed below the supply manifold, and a bypass channel. Each pressure chamber receives a pressure for ejecting liquid from a corresponding nozzle. The supply manifold communicates with the pressure chambers and includes a supply opening through which liquid enters from an exterior. The return manifold is formed by a first forming unit to extend in the array direction and communicate with the pressure chambers, and includes a return opening through which liquid exits to the exterior. The bypass channel connects the supply manifold and the return manifold. The first forming unit includes a first top surface defining a top surface of the return manifold, and a first protrusion protruding downward from the first top surface and having a lower end at which the bypass channel is open.
