Abstract

An object is to cause a piezoelectric film to perform a piezoelectric operation at a higher voltage than the conventional piezoelectric film. An aspect of the present invention is a piezoelectric film, wherein a voltage at which a piezoelectric butterfly curve that is a result obtained by measuring a piezoelectric property of a piezoelectric film takes a minimum value is larger by 2 V or more than a coercive voltage of a hysteresis curve that is a result obtained by measuring a hysteresis property of said piezoelectric film. The piezoelectric film includes an anti-ferroelectric film, and a ferroelectric film formed on the anti-ferroelectric film.
