Abstract
A liquid accommodation member includes a liquid accommodation chamber, a liquid outlet port that is capable of leading the liquid to a liquid consumption portion from the liquid accommodation chamber, a liquid inlet port through which the liquid is capable of being injected into the liquid accommodation chamber, a visual recognition surface through which a liquid level of the liquid accommodated in the liquid accommodation chamber is capable of being visually recognized, an illumination portion that illuminates the liquid accommodation chamber, and a displacement member that is displaced between a time of liquid injection at which the liquid is injected through the liquid inlet port and a time of liquid non-injection at which the liquid is not injected. The illumination portion lights up when the displacement member is displaced from a liquid non-injection position at which the displacement member is located at the time of the liquid non-injection.
