An element substrate in which a plurality of members are layered. Plates and a substrate serving as the plurality of members being layered and adhered to each other. The element substrate including a plurality of ejection ports that eject a liquid, and a plurality of supply ports that each communicate with a different ejection port. At least one of the members includes a groove that is, when viewing, from above, a surface in which the ejection ports are formed, formed between two ejection ports, each of which communicates to a different supply port.

A liquid ejecting head includes: a head main body for ejecting liquid from nozzle openings on a liquid ejecting surface provided with the plurality of nozzle openings; a maintaining member which is adhered to the head main body at a surface side opposite to the liquid ejecting surface side of the head main body in a direction perpendicular to the liquid ejecting surface; and a fixing board which is provided at a side opposite to the maintaining member with respect to the head main body. The fixing board includes a bending portion which is bent to the head main body side. The bending portion is adhered to a side surface of the maintaining member. The head main body is disposed in a space formed by adhering the maintaining member and the fixing board to each other.

The piezoelectric body is configured to have a layered structure such that a plurality of unit layers are stacked in a film thickness direction, and each of the unit layers is formed of a first layer on which the displacement is relatively easy to occur, and a second layer which has a high concentration of Zr as compared with the first layer. In addition, when composition ratio Ti/(Zr+Ti) of Zr to Ti in each of the first layer and the second layer is set as Cr1 and Cr2, the composition ratio of each layer is adjusted so as to satisfy the following conditions (1) to (3):

0.41Cr10.81(1)

0.1Cr1Cr20.3(2)

Cr1>Cr2(3).
