摘要： A piezoelectric layer is provided on a vibration plate which covers a plurality of pressure chambers extending in a predetermined direction. The piezoelectric layer has a first area corresponding to a central portion in a width direction of each of the pressure chambers and a second area corresponding to both sides in a longitudinal direction of an inner peripheral portion of each of the pressure chambers. A head for a liquid-droplet jetting apparatus which has the piezoelectric layer is prepared, and when the head is driven, a first driving step for applying a drive voltage to the second area, and the first area corresponding to a pressure chamber which does not jet a liquid droplet is carried out. Thereafter, a second driving step for applying a drive voltage to the first area corresponding to a pressure chamber which discharges the liquid droplet is carried out.

摘要： A measurement electrode for capacitance measurement is disposed so as to be opposed to a common electrode with a second and a third piezoelectric plates in between and to be opposed to all ink pressurizing chambers with a first piezoelectric plate in between. The capacitance of the piezoelectric plate disposed between the common electrode and the measurement electrode is measured with a larger area, and from the measured capacitance, the temperature of the piezoelectric plate is calculated based on the capacitance-temperature characteristic of the piezoelectric plate. In order to generate a pressure suitable for the ink viscosity that changes according to the temperature, the change in the overall temperature of the printer head that changes according to the status of use of the printer is accurately measured.
