Patent ID: 8292388

Claim:
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising: a driving element which is driven by a driving waveform; a nozzle from which a liquid is ejected by driving the driving element; a driving signal generator which generates a plurality of the driving waveforms in a predetermined repetition period and creates a driving signal in which the plurality of driving waveforms is repeatedly generated in each predetermined repetition period; and a controller which permits the driving signal generator to create the driving signal in which at least two first driving waveforms are configured to eject the maximum amount of liquid among amounts of liquid ejected from the nozzle once in the predetermined repetition period and at least two second driving waveforms, different from the at least two first driving waveforms, configured to eject an amount of liquid different from the maximum amount of liquid are generated in each predetermined repetition period, the driving signal being generated such that a temporal interval at which the first driving waveform is generated is closer to a half length of the predetermined repetition period than a temporal interval at which the second driving waveform is generated.
