Liquid Ejection Head
In a liquid ejection head, an ejection pressure is applied to a pressure chamber for liquid ejection from a nozzle. A descender extends in a first direction and includes a first end connected to the pressure chamber and a second end. A communication passage is connected to the second end, extends in a second direction crossing the first direction, and has a first dimension in the first direction. The nozzle is positioned at the communication passage such that a shortest distance between an outer periphery thereof and a center of the second end is greater than 0.5 times a second dimension of the second end in the second direction. When viewed in the first direction, the center of the second end and a center of a cross-section defined by the nozzle to be orthogonal to an extending direction of the nozzle intersect an axis of the communication passage.

Liquid ejection head
A liquid ejection head includes a flow channel structure, a supply channel structure, a piezoelectric element, a sealing substrate, and a heater. The flow channel structure defines an ejection channel including an individual channel and a manifold. The individual channel has a nozzle and a pressure chamber in which pressure is applied to liquid for causing the liquid to be ejected from the nozzle. The supply channel structure defines a supply channel configured to allow the liquid to flow therethrough to the ejection channel. The piezoelectric element is positioned on an upper surface of the flow channel structure and facing the pressure chamber via a vibration plate. The sealing substrate is made of a material having a higher thermal conductivity than the supply channel structure. The sealing substrate surrounds the piezoelectric element on the flow channel structure to seal the piezoelectric element. The heater is disposed at the sealing substrate.
