Abstract:
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a nozzle row in which nozzles which discharge a liquid are provided to line up, drive elements for discharging the liquid from the nozzles, and a control unit which drives the drive elements, in which the control unit selects the nozzles which are necessary from the nozzle row based on recording data and causes the liquid to be discharged from the nozzles which are selected at a predetermined timing, and in which a nozzle group is configured by consecutive nozzles which are adjacent to each other among the nozzles which are selected at each timing and a discharge timing of the liquid to be discharged from the nozzles of end portions of the nozzle group is caused to deviate with respect to the discharge timing of the liquid to be discharged from the nozzles other than those of the end portions.

Claim (Index 6):
The liquid ejecting apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the control unit performs control with respect to the nozzle which is selected such that in a case in which the liquid is not ejected from the nozzles on both sides adjacent to the selected nozzle, a first discharge pulse is supplied to the drive element corresponding to the selected nozzle, in a case in which the liquid is ejected from the nozzles of both sides adjacent to the selected nozzle, the first discharge pulse is supplied to the drive element corresponding to the selected nozzle, in a case in which the liquid is ejected from one of the nozzles which are adjacent to the selected nozzle which is also a case in which the liquid is ejected from the nozzle which is adjacent two nozzles away from the selected nozzle on the one nozzle side, a second discharge pulse of a different discharge timing from that of the first discharge pulse is supplied to the drive element corresponding to the selected nozzle, and in a case in which the liquid is ejected from one nozzle among the nozzles which are adjacent to the selected nozzle which is also a case in which the liquid is not ejected from the nozzle which is adjacent two nozzles away from the selected nozzle on the one nozzle side, the second discharge pulse is supplied to the drive element corresponding to the nozzle which is either an odd number of nozzles or an even number of nozzles away from a predetermined position among the nozzles which configure the nozzle row and the first discharge pulse is supplied to the drive element corresponding to the other nozzle.
