A liquid-ejecting head includes a flow path forming substrate which is formed with a pressure-generating chamber communicating with an nozzle; a piezoelectric element having a first electrode, a piezoelectric layer arranged above the first electrode, and a second electrode arranged on an opposite side of first electrode and the piezoelectric layer, by enabling the pressure-generating chamber to generate the pressure and ejecting the liquid droplet from the nozzle opening. An internal electric field in the piezoelectric layer is biased toward the first electrode or the second electrode when no voltage is applied to the first electrode or the second electrode.
