Claim 0:
1. A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
a print head that ejects a liquid;
a digital signal output circuit that outputs a digital signal to the print head; and
a liquid accommodating container that supplies the liquid to the print head, wherein
the print head includes
a supply port to which the liquid is supplied from the liquid accommodating container,
a nozzle plate having a plurality of nozzles that eject the liquid,
a substrate having first and second sides positioned opposite to each other, third and fourth sides positioned opposite to each other, a first surface, and a second surface different from the first surface,
a connector that has a plurality of terminals to which the digital signal is input,
a first integrated circuit to which the digital signal is input via the connector and that outputs an abnormality detection signal indicating presence or absence of an abnormality in the print head, and,
a second integrated circuit electrically coupled to the first integrated circuit,

the connector includes a first end with a shortest distance to the third side and a second end with a shortest distance to the fourth side and is provided on the first surface so that the plurality of terminals are arranged along the first side,
the first integrated circuit is provided on the second surface,
a shortest distance between the first end and the first integrated circuit is shorter than a shortest distance between the second end and the first integrated circuit, and
a shortest distance between the second end and the second integrated circuit is shorter than a shortest distance between the first end and the second integrated circuit.
