Publication number: 20140055530Abstract: A liquid ejecting head includes a pressure generation chamber to which ink containing a flat plate-like particle is filled, a piezoelectric element generating pressure change on the ink in the pressure generation chamber, and a nozzle plate having a nozzle for discharging the ink from the pressure generation chamber due to the pressure change. The nozzle includes a first nozzle portion at an ink discharge surface side, and a second nozzle portion communicating with the first nozzle portion and formed at the pressure generation chamber side. When an opening diameter of the first nozzle portion at the discharge surface side is ?1 and an opening diameter of the second nozzle portion at the pressure generation chamber side is ?2, the nozzle satisfies ?2/?1?1.4.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2013Publication date: February 27, 2014Applicant: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Shinichi Itaya, Kinya Ozawa
