    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 plurality of nozzles, a plurality of individual liquid chambers, a common supply channel, and a common collection channel. The plurality of nozzles discharges a liquid. The plurality of individual liquid chambers communicates with the plurality of nozzles, respectively. The common supply channel communicates with the plurality of individual liquid chambers. The common collection channel communicates with the plurality of individual liquid chambers. At least a part of at least one of the common supply channel and the common collection channel is disposed at a position overlapping with the plurality of individual liquid chambers when the plurality of individual liquid chambers is projected in a vertical direction.
