Liquid ejecting head and liquid ejecting apparatus

A liquid ejecting head comprising:

• a flow channel unit comprising:
• a pressure chamber plate having a pressure generating chamber capable of ejecting liquid drops;
• a reservoir plate formed with a reservoir in which liquid to be supplied to the pressure generating chamber is stored;
• and
• a supply channel member arranged between the pressure chamber plate and the reservoir plate and formed with a supply channel which communicates the reservoir and the pressure generating chamber, the supply channel member including a plurality of supply channel plates, and the supply channel including supply holes penetrated through the respective supply channel plates and a supply groove formed by removing part of one of adjacent supply channel plates in terms of the direction of thickness thereof for communicating the respective supply holes;
• and
• a supply communication channel that connects a storage unit having the liquid stored therein and the reservoir, the supply communication channel being formed through the pressure chamber plate and the supply channel member in the direction of thickness thereof, the supply channel plates having the supply groove being formed with a recess having the substantially same depth as the supply groove at an area corresponding to the supply communication channel and a filter unit having a plurality of filter holes provided on the bottom of the recess;
• wherein the reservoir plate includes a beam portion in an area between a portion opposing the supply channel and a portion opposing the supply communication channel;
• and
• a pressure generating element that provides a pressure to the pressure generating chamber.
