Abstract

An inkjet head includes a pair of support plates A, B and a diaphragm plate interposed between the support plates A, B. In this configuration, even when adhesion between the diaphragm plate and the support plate B is insecure, and when a piezoelectric element deforms a diaphragm toward a pressure chamber , that is, in a direction away from the support plate B, the support plate A prevents the diaphragm plate from peeling off the support plate B. Accordingly, the dimension and thus a deforming amount of the diaphragm is maintained uniform, whereby a uniform ink ejection performance is maintained.
