  • Patent number: 10272682
    Abstract: A piezoelectric device includes a first substrate that includes a piezoelectric element (32) provided in a first region where bending deformation is allowed and an electrode layer (39) electrically connected to the piezoelectric element (32), a second substrate in which a bump electrode (43) abutting and conducting the electrode layer (39), and having elasticity is formed, and which is disposed so as to face the piezoelectric element (32) with a predetermined space, and adhesive (43) that bonds the first substrate and the second substrate in a state where a distance between the first substrate and the second substrate is maintained. The adhesive (43) has a width in a center portion in a height direction relative to a surface of the first substrate or the second substrate greater than a width in end portions in the same direction.
