Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a piezoelectric device and a method of manufacturing the same, and, in particular, to a piezoelectric actuator capable of increasing a displacement amount and a method of manufacturing the same. [Prior Art] The microactuator (mi(10) actuatQr) is a component that converts the energy supply into a displacement to control the components. The main driving methods of actuators can be divided into temperature driving, piezoelectric type and electrostatic type. The main technology of inkjet heads used in computer peripheral equipment is piezoelectric type, and piezoelectric actuators use piezoelectric ceramics. The application of a voltage creates a mechanism of deformation, which squeezes the liquid to create a secret and ejects the liquid. Since the piezoelectric ceramics have the advantages of fast reaction speed and easy control of the size of the droplets, the printing speed and quality can be improved. ▲ Piezoelectric actuators are designed to drive the diaphragm to shift by applying a voltage to change the volume in the ink chamber to eject ink from the nozzle. Therefore, as the amount of displacement increases, the amount of change in the volume of the ink chamber becomes larger. A general piezoelectric actuator is composed of a piezoelectric actuator and a vibrating plate. The portion of the vibrating plate needs to provide the overall structural strength of the piezoelectric actuator, and therefore requires a constant thickness to maintain, _strength. However, an increase in the thickness of the vibrating plate affects the displacement amount of the piezoelectric actuator, which affects the application of the piezoelectric ink jet head. The thickness of the vibrating plate has a relative relationship with the displacement of the actuator caused by the deformation. When the thickness of the vibrating plate is ^, the displacement of the actuator will be insufficient, and even the droplet = pressure will be reached, so that the column is affected. Print quality, but when the thickness of the vibrating plate is too thin, its knot:
