Abstract

A head unit includes: heads including a first-head and a second-head including respective flow channels, and a common flow channel member being stacked on the heads and including common flow channels communicating with the heads in common; flexible members including a first-flexible-member disposed between the first-head and the common flow channel member, and a second-flexible-member disposed between the second-head and the common flow channel member; and fixation members for fixing the common flow channel member, the first and second-heads, and the first and second-flexible-members together. The first-flexible-member establishes liquid-tight communication between a first-flow-channel and a first-common-flow-channel by being compressed in a stacking direction. The second-flexible-member establishes liquid-tight communication between a second-flow-channel and the first-common-flow channel by being compressed in the stacking direction. The fixation members include a first-fixation-member disposed between the first-flexible-member and the second-flexible-member in plan view.
