Abstract
According to the liquid ejection head and the liquid ejection apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to reduce wasted nozzles in a joint section by reducing the total number of nozzles Nincluded in a joint section between head units that are positioned and fixed with high accuracy, while diminishing discontinuity of liquid ejection in joint sections between head units and joint sections between intermediate units, and furthermore, it is possible to make the replacement of each intermediate unit easy and hence to reduce the work involved in replacing intermediate units by further increasing the total number of nozzles Nincluded in joint sections between intermediate units which are fixed with less strict positioning accuracy than the head units.
