A structure of an ink-jet printer head of a piezoelectric type comprising a deformable polymer membrane, an actuator and an ink tank is provided. The deformable polymer membrane covers the top opening of the ink tank to enclose the ink tank. The actuator, which is a double-layer piezoelectric ceramic plate, is mounted on the deformable polymer membrane with one end thereof being fixedly connected to the polymer membrane and the other end thereof being free to vibrate. As a double-layer piezoelectric ceramic plate is employed as the actuator, it includes a top and a bottom piezoelectric layers. A predetermined voltage signal is applied selectively across the upper-surface electrode and the lower-surface electrode of the top and bottom piezoelectric layer respectively such that the top piezoelectric layer extends and the bottom layer shortens selectively. The different directions of the deformation of the top and bottom piezoelectric layers, therefore, cause the desired vibration of the free end of the actuator. The vibration action of the deformable membrane causes a perturbation action to the ink inside the tank such that the ink is jetted, through the outlet, towards the outside of the printer head.
