Claim Text:
1. A liquid ejecting head comprising: a flow path plate including a plurality of pressure chambers communicating with a nozzle that ejects a liquid; a plurality of pressure generators each including a first electrode provided above the flow path plate, a piezoelectric layer provided on the first electrode, and a second electrode provided on the piezoelectric layer; a lead electrode electrically connected to the first electrode; and a conductive layer provided in a section where the first electrode is partially exposed, the section being located in a region where the second electrode is not provided and the piezoelectric layer is exposed, at least a part of the conductive layer being in contact with the first electrode, wherein the first electrode is individually provided for each of the plurality of pressure chambers, the second electrode constitutes a common electrode for the plurality of pressure generators, and the lead electrode is connected to the first electrode via the conductive layer, and an opening is formed between the plurality of pressure generators by removing the second electrode and the piezoelectric layer, wherein the lead electrode is connected via the conductive layer to a portion of the first electrode exposed in a cut-away portion formed in the region where the second electrode is not provided and the piezoelectric layer is exposed.
