Abstract (en)

In a piezoelectric actuator unit including a plurality of sets, each set including a plurality of piezoelectric elements a1 to a3, b1 to b3, c1 to c3, individual electrodes Pa1 to Pa3, Pb1 to Pb3, Pc1 to Pc3, each supplying an electrical signal to a corresponding one of the plurality of piezoelectric elements, and a common electrode Ca, Cb, Cc that supplies a common electrical signal to each of the plurality of piezoelectric elements, the individual electrodes and the common electrode of each set being electrically independent of one another, a plurality of the common electrodes are connected to each other by an inter-common electrode resistance R1 in at least one place, and the electric resistivity of the inter-common electrode resistance R1 is higher than the electric resistivity of the common electrodes Ca, Cb, Cc and is lower than the electric resistivity of a member forming a face on which the common electrodes Ca, Cb, Cc are formed.
