Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 10:
11. A liquid discharging apparatus comprising:
a head having a plurality of nozzles; and
a controller,
wherein the controller is configured to execute:
a discharging processing of discharging liquid, from each of the nozzles toward a recording medium, in a liquid droplet amount which is selected for each of pixels from at least three kinds of liquid droplet amounts; and
a total discharge amount calculating processing of calculating a total discharge amount of the liquid to be discharged from the nozzles in the discharging processing, based on the liquid droplet amount selected for each of the pixels and a discharge duty which is density of the liquid droplet per a unit area of the recording medium,

wherein in the total discharge amount calculating processing, the controller is configured to correct the liquid droplet amount selected for each of the pixels, based on the liquid droplet amount of the liquid to be discharged at a certain timing from a certain nozzle, among the nozzles, at a timing which is before the certain timing,
wherein each of the pixels corresponds to one piece of a recording cycle,
wherein the recording cycle includes a first recording cycle, and a second recording cycle which is a recording cycle after the first recording cycle, and which is adjacent to the first recording cycle, and
wherein in the total discharge amount calculating processing, in a case that the liquid droplet amount corresponding to the first recording cycle is zero, the controller is configured to correct the liquid droplet amount corresponding to the second recording cycle so as to decrease the liquid droplet amount corresponding to the second recording cycle.
