LIQUID EJECTING HEAD AND LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A liquid ejecting head comprising:
- head units each of which includes a corresponding head substrate and ejects liquid;
flexible cables each of which has one end connected to the corresponding head substrate; and
a common member including the head units that are fixed thereto, whereinwhen a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction are directions that orthogonally intersect each other and the common member is placed on a virtual surface defined by the first direction and the second direction and has a thickness extending in the third direction, the common member extends more in the first direction than in the second direction, anda fixation region in which each of the flexible cables and the corresponding head substrate are fixed to each other extends more in the second direction than in the first direction when viewed in the third direction.

Abstract
A liquid ejecting head includes head units each of which includes a corresponding head substrate and ejects liquid, flexible cables each of which has one end connected to the corresponding head substrate, and a common member including the head units that are fixed thereto. In the liquid ejecting head, when a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction are directions that orthogonally intersect each other and the common member is placed on a virtual surface defined by the first direction and the second direction and has a thickness extending in the third direction, the common member extends more in the first direction than in the second direction. In addition, a fixation region in which each of the flexible cables and the corresponding head substrate are fixed to each other extends more in the second direction than in the first direction when viewed in the third direction.
