Patent attributes
A liquid discharging apparatus has: a discharging section that discharges a liquid by being driven by a driving signal; a detecting section that detects vibration caused in the discharging section; and an inspecting section that inspects the discharging state of the liquid in the discharging section according to the result of detection by the detecting section. In a first period, the potential of the driving signal is changed from a first reference potential to another potential and back to the first reference potential. In a second period, the potential of the driving signal is changed from the first reference potential to a second reference potential. In a third period, the detecting section detects vibration caused in the discharging section. In a fourth period, the potential of the driving signal is changed from the second reference potential to another potential and back to the second reference potential.
