Abstract:
There is provided a liquid ejecting apparatus including: a first switching circuit is switched so that a first voltage waveform is supplied to a first piezoelectric element corresponding to a first nozzle which ejects the liquid, a second switching circuit is switched so that a second voltage waveform is supplied to a second piezoelectric element corresponding to a second nozzle which does not eject the liquid, and a third switching circuit is switched so that none of a plurality of voltage waveforms is supplied to a third piezoelectric element corresponding to the third nozzle which does not eject the liquid.

Claim (Index 1):
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:\n a nozzle row that includes a plurality of nozzles which includes a first nozzle which ejects a liquid by driving a first piezoelectric element, a second nozzle which ejects the liquid by driving a second piezoelectric element, and a third nozzle which ejects the liquid by driving a third piezoelectric element; a driving circuit that generates a plurality of voltage waveforms which include a first voltage waveform for driving the piezoelectric element so as to eject the liquid from the nozzle included in the nozzle row and a second voltage waveform which drives the piezoelectric element to such an extent that the liquid is not ejected from the nozzle included in the nozzle row; a switching IC that includes a plurality of switching circuits which include a first switching circuit which switches whether or not to supply the voltage waveform to the first piezoelectric element, a second switching circuit which switches whether or not to supply the voltage waveform to the second piezoelectric element, and a third switching circuit which switches whether or not to supply the voltage waveform to the third piezoelectric element; and a protective substrate that is provided with the switching IC and is disposed so as to electrically connect the first switching circuit and the first piezoelectric element, to transmit,the voltage waveform, and to protect the first piezoelectric element, wherein the first switching circuit is switched so that the first voltage waveform is supplied to the first piezoelectric element corresponding to the first nozzle which ejects the liquid, the second switching circuit is switched so that the second voltage waveform is supplied to the second piezoelectric element corresponding to the second nozzle which does not eject the liquid, and the third switching circuit is switched so that none of the plurality of voltage waveforms is supplied to the third piezoelectric element corresponding to the third nozzle which does not eject the liquid.
