The filter unit is provided between the common liquid room and the liquid injection unit. The filter unit includes a reinforcement area for dividing the filter unit into filter areas each corresponding to two or more of the individual flow paths.

A width in a nozzle arrangement direction of the partition wall is wider than a width in the nozzle arrangement direction of the reinforcement area.
