Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a driving element driven by a driving waveform and a nozzle that ejects liquid in response to the driving element. A driving signal generator generates the driving waveforms in a period and creates a driving signal in which the driving waveforms are repeatedly generated in each period. The driving signal generator creates the driving signal in which at least two first driving waveforms configured to eject the maximum amount of liquid among amounts of liquid ejected from the nozzle once in the period and at least two second driving waveforms configured to eject a different amount of liquid are generated in each period. The driving signal is such that a temporal interval at which the first driving waveform is generated is closer to the half length of the period than a temporal interval at which the second driving waveform is generated.
