Liquid discharge head and recording apparatus using same

A liquid discharge head comprising:

• a first flow path member extending longitudinally in a first direction, and from which a liquid is discharged;
• and
• a second flow path member extending longitudinally in the first direction, and comprising a supply flow path for sending the liquid to the first flow path member, and a collecting flow path for collecting the liquid not discharged from the first flow path member from the first flow path member, wherein
• the supply flow path comprises a first opening that is open to an outside, and a supply branch flow path connected to the first opening,
• the supply branch flow path branches out at a center portion of the second flow path member in the first direction, extends in the first direction and in a third direction which is opposite to the first direction, and is connected to the first flow path member at an end portion of the supply branch flow path in the first direction and an end portion of the supply branch flow path in the third direction,
• the collecting flow path comprises a second opening that is open to the outside, and a collecting branch flow path connected to the second opening,
• the collecting branch flow path branches out at the center portion of the second flow path member in the first direction, extends in the first direction and in the third direction, and is connected to the first flow path member at an end portion of the collecting branch flow path in the first direction and an end portion of the collecting branch flow path in the third direction, and
• in a plan view, at least a part of the supply branch flow path and at least a part of the collecting branch flow path overlap.
