Abstract:
1. A liquid ejection head, comprising: a plurality of pressure chambers which contain liquid and are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix configuration; a plurality of nozzles which connect to the pressure chambers and eject the liquid; a diaphragm which forms one face of the pressure chambers; a plurality of piezoelectric elements which are formed on a face of the diaphragm reverse to a face thereof adjacent to the pressure chambers, each of the piezoelectric elements corresponding to each of the pressure chambers; a plurality of electrical wires which connect to the piezoelectric elements and extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the face on which the piezoelectric elements are formed; a sealing member which seals off at least one of the piezoelectric elements and at least one of the electrical wires so that space is formed over a side of the at least one of the piezoelectric elements reverse to a side adjacent to the diaphragm; and a common liquid chamber which supplies the liquid to the pressure chambers and is arranged on a side of the sealing member reverse to a side thereof on which the pressure chambers are arranged.
