Abstract

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a pressure control unit provided in a liquid flow path so as to control pressure. The pressure control unit includes a liquid introduction unit, a liquid chamber having a diaphragm, a communication hole that allows communication between the liquid introduction unit and the liquid chamber, and a wall portion provided on the side of the liquid chamber, so as to switch between a first mode in which the wall portion forms a first flow path for the liquid flowing through the communication hole toward the liquid outlet without contacting the diaphragm in accordance with a pressure in the liquid chamber, and a second mode in which the wall portion forms a second flow path different from the first flow path, in contact with the diaphragm.
