Abstract:
1. A liquid ejecting head comprising: a flow path member having a pressure generation chamber which communicates with a plurality of nozzle openings, respectively; a first liquid storage section which communicates with each of the pressure generation chambers; and a second liquid storage section which communicates with the pressure generation chamber on the opposite side of the first liquid storage section, wherein a liquid droplet is ejected via the plurality of nozzle openings by applying a pressure to the liquid filled in the pressure generation chamber by a pressure generation unit, wherein the liquid is circulated between the first liquid storage section and the second liquid storage section via the pressure generation chamber, wherein the flow path member has a first and second bypass flow paths which connect the first and second liquid storage sections, respectively in two locations of one end side and the other end side of a nozzle row on the outside of the nozzle row in which the nozzle openings are formed, and wherein a relationship between a flow path resistance R of the first and second bypass flow paths, and a flow path resistance r of a flow path portion including each of the pressure generation chambers which connect the first and second liquid storage sections is R<r/N (wherein, N is the number of all nozzle openings).
