An ink jet recording head includes pressure generating chambers communicating with associated nozzle orifices and piezoelectric elements provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the pressure generating chambers. Each of the piezoelectric elements includes a lower electrode provided in an area corresponding to the pressure generating chamber via an insulating layer, a piezoelectric layer provided on the lower electrode, and an upper electrode provided on a surface of the piezoelectric layer. Each of the piezoelectric elements includes an active part provided in an area facing the pressure generating chamber to be driven substantially, and an inactive part not to be driven even having the piezoelectric layer continued from the active part.
