Liquid discharge head and recording apparatus

A recording apparatus comprising:

• a recording element substrate including a discharge port for discharging a liquid;
• a channel member configured to support the recording element substrate and supply the recording element substrate with the liquid;
• an electric wiring board placed on the channel member in such a manner that the electric wiring board extends in a longitudinal direction of the liquid discharge head, the electric wiring board being configured to supply the recording element substrate with power;
• and
• a plate-like protective member directly or indirectly fixed to the channel member to cover the electric wiring board,
• wherein in a case where a direction in which the recording element substrate is viewed from the channel member is defined as downward, the protective member includes a first bent portion configured to be bent in a transverse direction of the liquid discharge head, the first bent portion being located at a position that is above an upper end of the channel member and below a midpoint of a line segment connecting the upper end of the channel member and an upper end of the protective member,
• wherein the recording apparatus further comprises an intermediate transfer member configured to temporarily hold an intermediate image formed of the liquid discharged from the liquid discharge head on an image formation surface, and
• wherein the intermediate image formed on the image formation surface of the intermediate transfer member is brought into contact with a recording medium and the intermediate image is transferred onto the recording medium.
