Patent ID: 7387375

Claim:
An inkjet recording head, comprising: pressure chambers in which nozzles for discharging ink are formed; diaphragms which form portions of walls of the pressure chambers; laminated piezoelectric elements which are disposed on the diaphragms at a side opposite from the pressure chambers and are formed by alternately laminating piezoelectric elements and first and second laminated electrodes for driving the piezoelectric elements in a lamination direction; first lead electrodes, which have first joining portions connecting with the first laminated electrodes and which impart a first potential to the first laminated electrodes; and second lead electrodes, which have second joining portions connecting with the second laminated electrodes and which impart a second potential to the second laminated electrodes, wherein at least either the first joining portions or the second joining portions are shifted when viewed in the lamination direction so as to connect with the first laminated electrodes or the second laminated electrodes.
