Abstract
An inkjet head includes a flat cable having: (a) first drive wires connecting first output terminals and a first driver circuit; (b) first controller wires extending from the first driver circuit; (c) second drive wires connecting second output terminals and a second driver circuit; and (d) second controller wires extending from the second driver circuit. The output terminals includes (i) a terminal which is most distant from the first driver circuit among the output terminals and which is one of the second output terminals, and/or (ii) a terminal which is most distant from the second driver circuit among the output terminals and which is one of the first output terminals. The first controller wires extend from the first driver circuit toward one of opposite sides of the second driver circuit that is remote from the first driver circuit.
