Abstract
Formed on a first face of a head main body are nozzles. Formed on an opposite second face of the head main body are actuators. A driver IC is, at its both ends, fixedly supported on the second face of the head main body so that the driver IC lies astride the actuators, in other words, the driver IC is mounted on a side of the head main body opposite to the ink emitting side. One ends of relay terminals formed on the second side of the head main body are coupled via respective wires to a printer main body. The other ends of the relay terminals are coupled via bonding wires to corresponding input terminals of the driver IC. Output terminals of the driver IC and input terminals of the actuators are connected together by bonding wires.
