Abstract
A liquid discharging head includes: a channel unit having a liquid channel which includes: a nozzle arranged at an end part, of the channel unit, on one side in a first direction; and a pressure chamber arranged at an end part, of the channel unit, on the other side in the first direction and communicating with the nozzle; and a piezoelectric element including: a vibration plate arranged on a surface, of the channel unit, on the other side in the first direction and covering the pressure chamber; and a piezoelectric layer arranged on a surface, of the vibration plate, on the other side in the first direction. An area, of the pressure chamber, which is projected in the first direction is not more than 50000 μm2, and a diameter of the nozzle is increased from the one side toward the other side in the first direction.

A liquid discharging head comprising:
- a channel unit having a liquid channel which includes:
- a nozzle arranged at an end part, of the channel unit, on one side in a first direction;
- and
- a pressure chamber arranged at an end part, of the channel unit, on the other side in the first direction and communicating with the nozzle;
- and
- a piezoelectric element including:
- a vibration plate arranged on a surface, of the channel unit, on the other side in the first direction and covering the pressure chamber;
- and
- a piezoelectric layer arranged on a surface, of the vibration plate, on the other side in the first direction,
- wherein an area, of the pressure chamber, which is projected in the first direction is not more than 50000 μm2,
- a diameter of the nozzle is increased from the one side toward the other side in the first direction, and
- a relationship of:
- θ+1.5×10−4×S>11 is satisfied, provided that θ is an inclination angle of an inner wall surface of the nozzle with respect to the first direction, and that the area of the pressure chamber is S μm2.
