Liquid ejection head including a plurality of recording element substrates formed adjacent to each other to form an array such that a gap in temperature distribution is prevented

Abstract

In a liquid ejection head in which ejection modules are arrayed on a flow path forming member, each ejection module includes a recording element substrate provided on a support member. The recording element substrate includes a liquid supply channel, a liquid collection channel, and ejection ports. The support member includes supply-side liquid communication ports communicating with the liquid supply channel and collection-side liquid communication ports communicating with the liquid collection channel. The supply-side liquid communication ports and the collection-side liquid communication ports are alternately provided along the direction in which the ejection modules are arrayed. The closest pair of liquid communication ports in the adjacent ends of two adjacent ejection modules are both supply-side or collection-side liquid communication ports.
