Abstract
A liquid discharge device has a liquid discharge head that includes a pressure chamber substrate provided with a first pressure chamber in which a liquid is accommodated, a first piezoelectric body provided to correspond to the first pressure chamber, and a detection resistor for detecting a temperature in a vicinity of the first pressure chamber, and a decision section that decides a degree of deterioration of the first piezoelectric body based on a detection result of the detection resistor.
