Abstract
A liquid ejecting head ejects liquid from a plurality of ejection orifices thereof for recording while being moved relative to a recording medium. The liquid ejecting head includes a gas discharge port configured to allow gas to be discharged therefrom. The gas discharge port is disposed on a downstream side of the ejection orifices in a direction of relative movement of the recording medium as viewed from the liquid ejecting head. The gas discharged from the gas discharge port joins an airflow that forms a vortex on an upstream side of the ejection orifices in the direction of relative movement. The vortex is generated by the liquid ejected from the ejection orifices.
