Patent ID: 8876262

Claim:
An inkjet head comprising: a plurality of nozzles provided on a nozzle plate and arrayed spaced apart from one another; and a plurality of actuators provided for the respective nozzles and configured to pressurize ink and eject the ink from the nozzles, the actuators including piezoelectric elements provided on an insulating layer, first electrodes electrically connected to the piezoelectric elements, and second electrodes electrically connected to the piezoelectric elements and configured to hold the piezoelectric elements in cooperation with the first electrodes, the first electrodes of the actuators being electrically connected to a common first energization pattern provided on the insulating layer, the second electrodes of the actuators being individually electrically connected to a plurality of second energization patterns provided on the insulating layer, and the first energization pattern and the second energization patterns being separated from each other without overlap in a thickness direction of the insulating layer, the actuators, the first energization pattern and the second energization patterns being provided within a range defined by a thickness dimension of the nozzle plate.
