    摘要: A liquid discharge head includes a nozzle plate, a channel substrate, a frame, and a vibration attenuator. The nozzle plate has multiple nozzles from which a liquid is discharged in a liquid discharge direction. The channel substrate has multiple individual liquid chambers communicating with the multiple nozzles, respectively. The frame has a first end adjacent to the channel substrate, a second end opposite the first end in the liquid discharge direction, and a common liquid chamber between the first end and the second end and communicating with the multiple individual liquid chambers. The vibration attenuator is disposed between the first end and the second end in the common liquid chamber. The vibration attenuator has a through hole through which the liquid flows in the common liquid chamber.

    摘要: A liquid discharge head includes a plurality of nozzles, a plurality of individual liquid chambers, a circulation channel, a circulation common liquid chamber, a common liquid chamber, and a vibration damping member. The plurality of nozzles discharges liquid. The plurality of individual liquid chambers is communicated with the plurality of nozzles. The circulation channel is communicated with the plurality of individual liquid chambers. The circulation common liquid chamber is communicated with the circulation channel. The common liquid chamber supplies the liquid to the plurality of individual liquid chambers. The common liquid chamber includes a first portion disposed side by side with the circulation common liquid chamber in an in-plane direction and a second portion having a width greater than a width of the first portion in the in-plane direction. The vibration damping member is recoverably deformable and constitutes a wall surface of the second portion of the common liquid chamber.
