Liquid ejection head and liquid ejecting apparatus

A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:

• a liquid ejection head including a substrate;
• an energy generator that is provided on the substrate and generates energy for ejecting liquid;
• an electrode portion that is provided on the substrate and is electrically connected to the energy generator;
• a liquid ejection face that is provided on a side of a surface of the substrate on which the electrode portion is provided;
• and a flexible printed circuit board including a conductive pattern electrically connected to the electrode portion and a base material having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being opposed to the surface of the substrate on which the electrode portion is provided, and the second surface being provided on an opposite side from the first surface;
• and
• a wiper for wiping the liquid ejection face,
• wherein the conductive pattern is provided in contact with the first surface,
• wherein the base material of the flexible printed circuit board has a leading region from a terminal end of a region having the conductive pattern to an end of the base material closer to the energy generator, the conductive pattern not being formed in the leading region, and
• wherein at least a part of the second surface of the leading region inclines toward the substrate.
