ABSTRACT:
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.
