Abstract:
A recording head comprising:a liquid discharge portion having a liquid discharge opening;a substrate having formed thereon a plurality of electrothermal transducers for generating thermal energy with said electrothermal transducers being arranged in an alignment direction, and a plurality of functional devices also formed on said substrate and electrically connected to said electrothermal transducers in said substrate, each said functional device being disposed at a distance from an associated one of said electrothermal transducers; anda plurality of take-out wires, each of said take-out wires electrically connecting one of the functional devices to an associated one of said electrothermal transducers,said take-out wires extending parallel to each other and being arranged according to a given pitch;said plurality of functional devices being slipped obliquely with respect to each other on said substrate in the alignment direction of said electrothermal transducers, according to the pitch of said take-out wires, such thatsaid take-out wires become linear to minimize wiring resistance.
