Abstract:
1. A liquid ejecting head which discharges a liquid from a nozzle opening, comprising: a piezoelectric element including a first electrode, a piezoelectric body layer provided on the first electrode, and a second electrode provided on the piezoelectric body layer, wherein the piezoelectric body layer includes a complex oxide having a perovskite structure, the piezoelectric body layer being oriented in a specific surface such that, when 2θ is fixed within the range of 21.9° to 22.7° to scan in the direction of the χ-axis in a measure using an X-ray diffractometer, the piezoelectric body layer has a strongest peak in the range of 4.75° to 28.3°, and when 2θ is fixed within the range of 31.1° to 32.6° to scan in the direction of the χ-axis in the measure using an X-ray diffractometer, the piezoelectric body layer has a strongest peak in the range of 24.8° to 40.75°.
