Patent ID: 8398214

Claim:
A liquid ejecting head comprising: a channel forming member in which a pressure generating chamber communicating with a nozzle opening that ejects liquid is provided; a piezoelectric element that changes a pressure in the pressure generating chamber, the piezoelectric element being provided at one surface side of the channel forming member; a terminal portion electrically connected to the piezoelectric element, the terminal portion being provided at the one surface side of the channel forming member; a wiring substrate on which a wiring layer for supplying a driving signal for driving the piezoelectric element is provided; and an adhesive layer for electrically connecting the wiring layer and the terminal portion and for combining the wiring substrate and the channel forming member, the adhesive layer being formed by an anisotropic conductive material, wherein a gap layer that is electrically discontinuous with the terminal portion and the wiring layer, the gap layer being provided on at least one surface of the channel forming member and the wiring substrate in an area in which the adhesive layer is provided, the gap layer protruding from at least one surface of the wiring substrate to the adhesive layer and being placed at least between the terminal portion and an adjacent terminal portion.
