Patent ID: 8308257

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 creates a driving signal in which the driving waveform is generated; and a controller which permits the driving signal generator to generate two first driving waveforms and a second driving waveform in a predetermined period and to create the driving signal in which the two first driving waveforms and the second driving waveform are repeatedly generated in each predetermined period, wherein when the first driving waveform is applied to the driving element, a first amount of liquid is ejected from the nozzle, when the two first driving waveforms are applied to the driving element, a double of the first amount of liquid is ejected from the nozzle, when the second driving waveform is applied to the driving element, a second amount of liquid larger than the first amount of liquid and smaller than the double of the first amount of liquid is ejected from the nozzle, and when the two first driving waveforms and the second driving waveform are applied to the driving element, an amount of liquid smaller than a sum of the double of the first amount of liquid and the second amount of liquid is ejected from the nozzle.
