• ejection ports for ejecting liquid;
• recesses respectively accommodating the ejection ports, the ejection ports being respectively accommodated within the recesses;
• ejection sections operating as passages directed to the respective ejection ports;
• and
• liquid channels for supplying the respective ejection sections with liquid,
• wherein the ejection sections and the liquid channels are arranged in rows and extend in respective directions that intersect each other,
• connection sections respectively connect the ejection sections and the corresponding liquid channels and form an elliptic contour having a major axis and a minor axis as viewed from the corresponding one of the ejection ports, while the recesses also form an elliptic contour having a major axis and a minor axis, and
• the length of the major axis of each of the recesses is greater than a pitch of an arrangement of the ejection ports in a direction parallel to the major axis and the recesses are arranged such that any adjacently located recesses are directed in the same direction.
