  • Publication number: 20180326723
    Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid ejecting head in which a chip crack is unlikely to occur. To achieve this, a liquid ejecting head includes an element substrate having energy generating elements arranged on the front face of the element substrate in its longitudinal direction and a channel member having ejection ports formed to correspond to the energy generating elements, respectively. In the element substrate, a supply port for supplying liquid is formed so as to pierce through from a back face to a front face of the element substrate, and inside the supply port, a beam is formed at a position closer to an end of the supply port rather than a center thereof in its longitudinal direction to connect facing inner walls of the supply port in its lateral direction.
