ABSTRACT:
A liquid ejecting head has a pressure chamber into which liquid flows from a liquid reservoir through a liquid passage, and a pressure generating unit operable to pressurize the liquid in the pressure chamber to eject the liquid through a nozzle opening. A gas trapping chamber is formed in the liquid passage and adapted to trap gas mixed in the liquid. A gas collecting chamber is formed adjacent to the gas trapping chamber. A gas permeable wall is interposed between the gas trapping chamber and the gas collecting chamber. A pressure difference generating unit is operable to generate a pressure difference between the gas trapping chamber and the gas collecting chamber so that a pressure in the gas collecting chamber is lower than a pressure in the gas trapping chamber, thereby collecting the gas trapped in the gas trapping chamber in the gas collecting chamber through the gas permeable wall.
