Patent ID: 6916077

Claim:
A liquid ejecting device having at least one head including a plurality of liquid ejecting portions each having a nozzle, said liquid ejecting device comprising: ejection deflector for ejecting a droplet with deflection from the nozzle of each of said plurality of liquid ejecting portions in a plurality of directions; and ejection controller for controlling ejection so that, by ejecting droplets in different directions from at least two different liquid ejecting portions in adjacent positions among said plurality of liquid ejecting portions while using said ejection deflector, the droplets are delivered in a single column to form a pixel column, or the droplets are delivered in a single pixel region to form a pixel; wherein each of the liquid ejecting portions comprises: a liquid cell for containing liquid; and a plurality of heating elements for ejecting the liquid in said liquid cell from the nozzle by using bubbles produced in the liquid in said liquid cell by the heating elements in response to the supply of energy; in said liquid cell, the heating elements are arranged in the direction of the arranged liquid ejecting portions; and first heating elements comprising at least one of said plurality of heating elements in said liquid cell and a second heating elements comprising at least another one of the heating elements are controlled by said ejection deflector to have a difference in supplied energy, so that the droplets can be ejected from the nozzle with deflection based on the energy difference.
