There is provided an ink-jet head having ink outlets formed at a high
density for use in an ink-jet recorder. The ink-jet head comprises ink
outlets, compression chambers communicating with the ink outlets, and
piezoelectric vibration sections, each being provided on a part of each of
the compression chambers and including a piezoelectric film containing Pb,
Ti and Zr, and electrodes provided on both sides of the piezoelectric
film. The piezoelectric film comprises a first layer and a second layer
which each have a perovskite structure and are formed in contact with each
other, wherein the first layer is formed as a layer containing no Zr or as
a layer containing a smaller amount of Zr than that contained in the
second layer.
