An actuator 120 is formed from nine piezoelectric sheets stacked in this order to give a laminated configuration. A common electrode 25 is formed on the upper surface of each piezoelectric sheet 122, 121b, 121d, 121f, 121g. A plurality of drive electrodes 24 are formed the upper surface of each piezoelectric sheet 121a, 121c, 121e, 123. The common electrodes 25, a cavity plate 14, and a cover plate 44 are all maintained at the same potential (0V). The lowermost piezoelectric sheet 122 formed with the common electrode 25 is located between the cavity plate 14 and the lowermost drive electrodes 24 on the piezoelectric sheet 121a. In this configuration, an ejection voltage applied to the drive electrodes 24 is reliably prevented from being applied to ink in a pressure chamber and/or the cavity plate 14, whereby reliable ink ejection is possible.
