In a printhead element board including a plurality of printing elements which align in a predetermined direction, driving circuits which drive the printing elements, and an element selection circuit which selects printing elements within each group for each group having a predetermined number of adjacent printing elements, a plurality of element selection circuits are laid out adjacent to the driving circuits of the respective groups. With this layout, even if the number of printing elements increases, only the length in the printing element array direction increases without increasing the length in a direction perpendicular to the printing element array direction.

This invention relates to a head substrate capable of reducing power loss and achieving a high integration degree or downsizing at low cost. The head substrate includes at least plural printing elements, plural driving elements which drive the plural printing elements, and plural level converters which boost the voltage of a driving signal for driving the plural driving elements, to a voltage enough to drive the respective driving elements. The head substrate further includes plural converted voltage generation circuits, arranged close to each other on the head substrate, for applying a common voltage for the boosting operation of level converters belonging to each group prepared by grouping the plural level converters. The plural converted voltage generation circuits share a reference voltage generation portion formed from a resistor and for generating a reference voltage for determining voltage values generated by the plural converted voltage generation circuits.

In a having a plurality of printing elements, a shift register which serially receives printing data corresponding to the number of printing elements, a latch which latches the printing data input to the shift register, and a driving circuit which selectively drives the printing elements in accordance with the printing data latched by the latch and a signal representing a driving period, the latch state of the latch is controlled by the signal representing the driving period. The signal representing the driving period and a signal for controlling the latch state of the latch are commonly used to decrease the number of input terminals of the .
