Abstract: A liquid ejecting head includes a detection resistor disposed on a lower side of the piezoelectric bodies in a direction of lamination and at a position not overlapping the individual electrodes, formed from the same material as that of the individual electrodes and the common electrode, and configured to change its resistance value in response to a temperature of the liquid inside the pressure chambers. The detection resistor includes an overlapping region overlapping the common electrode and a non-overlapping region not overlapping the common electrode at a cross-section where the pressure chamber substrate is sectioned at a position where the pressure chamber is present on a plane parallel to a longitudinal direction of the pressure chambers and the direction of lamination.

Abstract: A liquid ejecting head includes a pressure chamber substrate formed of silicon where a pressure chamber is formed, and a communication plate penetrated by communication holes in a plate thickness direction, in which the pressure chamber partitioned by partition walls formed of crystal orientation planes being formed in the recording head through etching. Acute angle portions are formed, by the partition walls intersecting with each other at an acute angle, in both end portions of the pressure chamber in a first direction, and a first step is disposed in the middle of each of the acute angle portions in an etching direction. Parts of the communication holes are arranged at positions superimposed on the acute angle portions in a bonding surface and remaining parts of the communication holes are arranged on outer sides in the first direction with respect to the acute angle portions such that a second step is formed in a communication portion between the pressure chamber and the communication holes.
