    摘要: A droplet discharge head includes a plurality of discharge orifices, a plurality of pressure generation chambers, a supply liquid chamber, a plurality of supply channels, a circulation liquid chamber, and a plurality of circulation channels. The discharge orifices discharge droplets. The pressure generation chambers are communicated with the discharge orifices, to apply pressure to liquid in the pressure generation chambers. The supply liquid chamber stores liquid to be supplied to the pressure generation chambers. The supply channels are communicated with the pressure generation chambers. The circulation liquid chamber receives liquid collected from the pressure generation chambers. The circulation channels communicate the pressure generation chambers with the circulation liquid chamber. Each of the circulation channels includes a small cross-section portion that has a smaller cross-sectional area in a width direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of each of the circulation channels than another portion in the longitudinal direction.

    摘要: A liquid discharge head includes a nozzle, a cover, a connector board, and a cap. The nozzle is configured to discharge liquid. The cover covers at least a part of the liquid discharge head except the nozzle. The connector board includes a connector, and a first engaging portion. The connector is detachably connected to a wiring component. The first engaging portion is configured to engage the cover in a first direction. The cap is detachably attached to the cover. The cap includes an opening and a second engaging portion. The opening is configured to engage at least one of the connector and the connector board in a second direction intersecting the first direction and expose at least a part of the connector. The second engaging portion is configured to engage the cover in a third direction.
