Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a channel substrate having one or more pressure chambers, an absorbing chamber that absorbs vibration of a liquid; a vibration plate that is stacked on the channel substrate; a first piezoelectric element that is provided on a first surface of the vibration plate, which is on a side opposite to a side on which the pressure chamber is present, at a position overlapping the pressure chamber when viewed and that vibrates the vibration plate to apply pressure to the liquid; a second piezoelectric element that is provided on the first surface of the vibration plate at a position overlapping the absorbing chamber and that deforms to absorb the vibration of the liquid propagated from the pressure chamber; and a pressure detecting section that detects, based on an electromotive force of the second piezoelectric element, pressure of the liquid in the absorbing chamber.
