  • a liquid discharge apparatus including a liquid discharge unit and a drive substrate for driving the discharge unit is disclosed.
  • a drive substrate is heated when being driven. Meanwhile, there is a case where adverse effects such as a nozzle for discharging liquid being easily clogged, and the like occur, when the temperature of the discharge unit is increased. In addition, since the drive substrate is generally provided in the vicinity of the discharge unit, it is desired that heat generated due to driving of the drive substrate is not transmitted to the discharge unit.
