A liquid ejecting head that has an ejection surface configured to eject a liquid includes a plurality of head chips that are long in a first direction. The plurality of head chips are arranged inside a virtual parallelogram including a first virtual side and a second virtual side that are in contact with at least one of the plurality of head chips and that extend in the first direction, and a third virtual side and a fourth virtual side that are in contact with at least one of the plurality of head chips and that extend in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and the ejection surface is not overlapped with an acute-angled portion of the virtual parallelogram when the ejection surface is viewed in a normal direction of the ejection surface.

A liquid discharge head includes a liquid discharge substrate that has a discharge-orifice row, pressure generating elements, and pressure chambers. The liquid discharge head discharges a liquid in a block-by-block manner using sequential driving. The discharge-orifice row is disposed so as to incline at an angle θ=Arctan (d1/d2) relative to a direction extending orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the medium, in which d1 (μm) is a disposition spacing of the discharge orifices in the discharge-orifice row in the conveyance direction and d2 (μm) is a disposition spacing of the discharge orifices in the discharge-orifice row in the direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction. A partition wall is formed between adjacent pressure chambers so as to separate the adjacent pressure chambers from each other. The partition wall has a communicating portion that communicates the adjacent pressure chambers with each other.

A liquid discharge head includes a plurality of nozzle arrays arranged in a first direction. The plurality of nozzle arrays each includes nozzles from which a liquid is discharged, the nozzles arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and one of two nozzle arrays of the plurality of nozzle arrays adjacent to each other in the first direction include at least two nozzles arranged at different nozzle intervals from corresponding nozzles of another of the two nozzle arrays in the first direction.

There is provided a liquid ejecting apparatus including: a liquid ejecting head having an ejection surface including a first nozzle row configured to eject a first ink and a second nozzle row configured to eject a second ink; and a support configured to support the liquid ejecting head in an inclined posture in which the ejection surface is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, in which the first nozzle row is positioned above the second nozzle row with respect to a vertical direction in a state where the support supports the liquid ejecting head in the inclined posture, and a thickening resistance of the second ink is higher than a thickening resistance of the first ink.

A liquid discharging head includes: individual channels; a first common channel; and a second common channel Each of the plurality of individual channels includes: a pressure chamber, a nozzle, a connecting channel, a first communicating channel, and two second communicating channels. A first vector of the first communicating channel has an orientation from one end to the other end of the first communicating channel. Respective second vectors of the two second communicating channels have orientations, each of the orientations being from one end to the other end of one of the two second communicating channels along an extending direction of the two second communicating channels. The first communicating channel is arranged, with respect to the nozzle, on one side in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and the two second communicating channels are arranged, with respect to the nozzle, on the other side in the second direction. Each of the orientation of the first vector and the orientation of the second vector includes an orientation component from the one side toward the other side in the second direction.

An image processing apparatus comprises a first storage and a second, a plurality of image processing units that perform image processing on pixel data of image data read from the first storage or the second storage, and a writing unit that writes the pixel data, processed by the plurality of image processing units, into the second storage. The plurality of image processing units include a directivity image processing unit that performs image processing on the image data in mutually different directions by reading and supplying to an image processing unit of the plurality of image processing units the pixel data written into the second storage. Target pixel data processed by the directivity image processing unit is written into the second storage in an order of arrangement which is different from the order of arrangement of pixels in the image data stored in the first storage.

There is provided a liquid ejecting apparatus including: a liquid ejecting head having an ejection surface including a first nozzle row configure to eject a first ink and a second nozzle row configure to eject a second ink; and a support configured to support the liquid ejecting head in an inclined posture in which the ejection surface is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, in which the first nozzle row is positioned above the second nozzle row with respect to a vertical direction in a state where the support supports the liquid ejecting head in the inclined posture, one or both of the first ink and the second ink contain a moisturizer, and a thickening resistance of the first ink is higher than a thickening resistance of the second ink.
