A liquid delivering device including: (a) a cavity unit defining cavities
for accommodating a liquid which is to be delivered to an exterior of the
liquid delivering device; (b) a piezoelectric actuator unit superposed on
the cavity unit, and having active portions which correspond to the
respective cavities and which are selectively deformable upon application
of a drive voltage thereto so as to deliver the liquid from the
corresponding cavities to the exterior of the liquid delivering device;
and (c) a backup plate superposed on the actuator unit such that the
actuator unit is interposed between the cavity unit and the backup plate.
The backup plate is jointed, at least at portions thereof corresponding
to peripheries of the cavities, to the actuator unit. The actuator unit
includes (b-1) a piezoelectric material layer deformable upon generation
of an electric field therein as a result of the application of the drive
voltage to the actuator unit, and (b-2) a flexible layer laminated on the
piezoelectric material layer so as to be deformable together with
deformation of the piezoelectric material layer.
