Abstract:
A liquid cartridge is configured to be inserted into a cartridge-attachment section including a casing and a light blocking portion. The casing includes a liquid chamber; a liquid passage extending in a first direction; and a top surface facing upward. The light blocking portion is deformable between a non-deformed state and a deformed state. The light blocking portion, at least in the non-deformed state, is configured to block or attenuate light emitted from the cartridge-attachment section and traveling in a widthwise direction crossing the first direction and a gravitational direction in an upright posture. The light blocking portion in the non-deformed state is configured to be deformed to the deformed state by an external force. The light blocking portion returns to the non-deformed state when the external force is removed from the light blocking portion in the deformed state.

Claim (Index 14):
The liquid cartridge according to  claim 12 , wherein the liquid cartridge is inserted into the cartridge-attachment section against an urging force acting in a direction opposite to the first direction;\n the liquid cartridge having a protrusion positioned rearward relative to the circuit board, the protrusion and the light blocking portion defining a plurality of imaginary planes each of which passes through the protrusion and the light blocking portion, each of the plurality of imaginary planes extending in the widthwise direction, the plurality of imaginary planes including a specific imaginary plane defined by the protrusion and the light blocking portion, the specific imaginary plane being positioned higher than any other imaginary plane between the protrusion and the light blocking portion, the circuit board being positioned downward relative to the specific imaginary plane in the gravitational direction in the upright posture.
