    摘要: A liquid ejecting head includes: a piezoelectric element including a piezoelectric layer; a pressure compartment substrate in which a pressure compartment is provided; and a diaphragm that applies pressure to liquid in the pressure compartment by vibrating by being driven by the piezoelectric element. The pressure compartment substrate, the diaphragm, and the piezoelectric element are stacked in this order in a stacking direction. A neutral plane of a stacked body made up of the piezoelectric element and the diaphragm is located inside the piezoelectric layer. Of two regions obtained by dividing the piezoelectric layer with respect to the neutral plane, a region located closer to the diaphragm is defined as a lower region, and a region located farther from the diaphragm is defined as an upper region. A piezoelectric constant of the lower region is less than a piezoelectric constant of the upper region.

    摘要: A head unit includes a recording head and a unit frame. The unit frame includes a main frame extending along a width direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of a recording medium, and is configured to hold one or more recording heads on both side surfaces of the main frame. The main frame includes: a main body portion having a flat-plate shape and standing along the width direction; and bent portions formed by perpendicularly bending both end portions of the main body portion in the width direction. The unit frame includes a pair of reinforcing members provided at the bent portions. The reinforcing members each include a side wall portion opposed to the main body portion and a bottom surface portion provided so as to extend in a horizontal direction from a lower end portion of the side wall portion.

    摘要: A liquid ejecting head includes a substrate having pressure chambers in communication with nozzles through which a liquid is ejected, a vibration plate on the substrate, and a piezoelectric actuator including a first electrode, a piezoelectric layer, and a second electrode stacked in a first direction on the vibration plate. The piezoelectric layer of the piezoelectric actuator has an active portion that overlaps the pressure chamber, the first electrode, and the second electrode when viewed in the first direction and a non-active portion that does not overlap at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode when viewed in the first direction. A piezoelectric material forming the piezoelectric layer has a larger crystal grain size in the non-active portion than in the active portion.
