Abstract
A liquid jetting apparatus includes: a pressure chamber formation member having first pressure chambers arranged in a first direction, and an insulation film covering the first pressure chambers; a cover which is joined to the pressure chamber formation member and has a first convex portion and a second convex portion; and a wiring member joined to the pressure chamber formation member. Each of the first convex portion and the second convex portion has a bonding surface to the pressure chamber formation member and extends in the first direction.

- and
- a wiring member joined to the pressure chamber formation member,
- wherein the first pressure chambers have first ends aligned in the first direction, second ends aligned in the first direction, and centers positioned between the first ends and the second ends in a second direction which is along a planar direction of the insulation film and orthogonal to the first direction;
- the centers of the respective first pressure chambers being positioned between the first convex portion and the second convex portion of the cover in relation to the second direction,
- the pressure chamber formation member has:
- first electrodes overlapping respectively with the first pressure chambers in a third direction orthogonal to the planar direction of the insulation film, while sandwiching the insulation film therebetween;
- a piezoelectric layer overlapping with the insulation film and the first electrodes in the third direction;
- a second electrode overlapping with the first electrodes in the third direction, while sandwiching the piezoelectric layer therebetween;
- first traces connected respectively with the first electrodes;
