Abstract:
1. A liquid discharge head comprising: a pressure generation part that generates pressure to discharge a liquid droplet; and a flexible wiring member connected with the pressure generation part, wherein the flexible wiring member includes a first flexible cable and a second flexible cable which are joined and connected, one end part of the first flexible cable is connected with the pressure generation part, and the other end part of the first flexible cable is joined with one end part of the second flexible cable, the second flexible cable is folded to have a plane part that is perpendicular to a joint area between the first flexible cable and the second flexible cable and extends in a direction away from the first flexible cable, the plane part is deformed in response to force applied from a part on which the other end part of the second flexible cable is mounted, a folded part is formed at the one end part of the second flexible cable and covers at least a part of a joint part between the other end part of the first flexible cable and the one end part of the second flexible cable, and the second flexible cable is extended in a longitudinal direction of the liquid discharge head from the folded part, the folded part of the second flexible cable is folded to sandwich the other end part of the first flexible cable and covers the joint part, and the pressure generation part is disposed on an inward-facing side of the first flexible cable.
