Abstract
An electromechanical transducer element includes an electromechanical transducer film including a complex oxide that has a perovskite structure containing at least Pb, Zr and Ti; a pair of electrodes disposed to sandwich the electromechanical transducer film; and an insulating protective film covering the electromechanical transducer film and the pair of electrodes. Pb content of the electromechanical transducer film is uniform in a film thickness direction of the electromechanical transducer film, and a density of leak current measured between the pair of electrodes is 4.2×10A/cmor less in an environment in which a water vapor pressure is 300 kPa.
