Abstract:
1. A recording apparatus for performing recording by reciprocally moving a liquid discharge head, the recording apparatus comprising: the liquid discharge head comprising: a case; a connection terminal group including a plurality of connection terminals configured to electrically connect to the recording apparatus, which is provided on one face of the case; a liquid discharge substrate for discharging a liquid from a discharge port according to a signal transmitted from the recording apparatus via the connection terminals; and a supporting substrate for supporting the liquid discharge substrate, which is provided on another one face of the case, the recording apparatus further comprising: a standby area provided on one end of the recording apparatus where the liquid discharge head is on stand-by when recording is not performed; a carriage including a connection terminal which can electrically connect to the liquid discharge head, is mounted with the liquid discharge head, and reciprocally moves between the standby area and another end of the recording apparatus, wherein, in a moving direction of the liquid discharge head from the standby area to the another end of the recording apparatus, a center of the connection terminal group is located at a position displaced from a center of the case, a center of the supporting substrate is located at a position further displaced; a wiring substrate provided with the connection terminals; and a wiring tape for electrically connecting the liquid discharge substrate and the wiring substrate, wherein a center of an electric connection portion between the wiring substrate and the wiring tape is located between a center of the connection terminal group and a center of the supporting substrate in the moving direction.
