1. A thin-film piezoelectric resonator, comprising:
a piezoelectric film which is formed via a space on a substrate and is supported on the substrate at only one end portion;
an upper electrode which has a plurality of electrode layers and a connection part connecting the electrode layers to each other, each of the electrode layers being formed on the piezoelectric film, having the same width and being arranged at the same interval as the width;
a lower electrode formed under the piezoelectric film;
a first pad which is formed on he substrate and is electrically connected to the upper electrode; and
a second pad which is formed on the substrate and is electrically connected to the lower electrode.
