Abstract
There is disclosed a liquid ejecting head having a configuration in which a cross-sectional area of an intermediate passage is smaller than that of an upstream passage and a downstream passage to cause a flow speed of ink to be faster in the intermediate passage when the ink flows toward the downstream passage via the intermediate passage without passing through a filter, thereby making it possible to flow air bubbles staying on a face of the filter together with the ink.
