Abstract
A compact and highly reliable recording head enabling precise detection of temperature information for each nozzle and rapid as well as highly accurate detection of nozzles with a discharge defect can be achieved. An electrothermal transducing member is provided on a substrate to generate heat energy for discharging liquid from a discharge port. A temperature detecting circuit includes a temperature detecting element for measuring a temperature of the transducing member. The temperature detection circuit includes a constant current circuit, a voltage detecting circuit, and a switching element.
