Abstract

A liquid discharging head includes a channel member which has a plurality of individual channels, each of the plurality of individual channels having a pressure chamber communicating with a nozzle, and a piezoelectric actuator which is configured to make the liquid discharge from the nozzle by causing a change in a pressure on a liquid inside the pressure chamber. The piezoelectric actuator has a thin-film piezoelectric element, and when a Helmholtz natural frequency of the pressure chamber is let to be Fr (kHz) and a diameter of the nozzle is let to be D (μm), a relationship<−0.0313×Fr+25.62 (provided that, 100 kHz≤Fr)is satisfied, and a viscosity of the liquid discharged from the nozzle is not higher than 5 mPa·s.
