Abstract
A manufacturing method of a piezoelectric element includes forming an adhesive layer of a lead electrode on a piezoelectric element main body of a vibration plate, forming a metallic layer of the lead electrode on the adhesive layer, removing the metallic layer to leave the adhesive layer in a portion that corresponds to an extended electrode of the lead electrode using etching, patterning the remaining adhesive layer as individual extended electrodes that correspond to the piezoelectric element main body using etching, joining a protective substrate onto the vibration plate in a state in which the piezoelectric element main body is accommodated inside an accommodation hollow section and the extended electrode is positioned further on an outer side of the vibration plate than the protective substrate, layering and forming a section of the wiring on the protective substrate and the extended electrode, and patterning the wiring as individual wiring for each extended electrode using etching.
