Abstract
A liquid discharge head through which discharged liquid droplets are easily gathered into one droplet, and a recording device using the head are provided. A liquid discharge head includes a liquid pressurizing chamber, a displacement element that applies pressure to the liquid pressurizing chamber, a liquid discharge hole, and a communication passage connecting the liquid pressurizing chamber and the liquid discharge hole. The communication passage includes a narrow portion having a small cross-section area and first and second communication passages. A ratio of lengths of the communication and second communication passages; a ratio of combined inertances of the liquid pressurizing chamber and the first communication passage and of the liquid discharge hole and the first communication passage; and a ratio of combined compliances of the liquid pressurizing chamber and the first communication passage and of the liquid discharge hole and the first communication passage fall within predetermined ranges.
