<p>A piezoelectric actuator 3 of a liquid transporting apparatus includes grooves 40 which are formed on a surface of a vibration plate 30 on a side of pressure chambers 14, and each of the grooves 40 is formed at an area which is inside of the edge of one of the pressure chambers and which is outside of an area overlapping with one of individual electrodes 32. With the grooves 40, it is possible to partially reduce the rigidity of the vibration plate 30 at portions each of which surrounding one of the individual electrodes 32 (driving portions 31a), thereby improving the driving efficiency of the piezoelectric actuator 3 and to reduce the crosstalk between adjacent pressure chambers 14.
