Liquid droplet discharging apparatus having movement correction

A liquid droplet discharging apparatus that discharges liquid droplets on a medium from a plurality of nozzles included in a head while relatively moving the head and the medium, the liquid droplet discharging apparatus comprising:

• a first piezoelectric element that moves the head in a first direction;
• a second piezoelectric element that moves the head in a second direction opposite to the first direction;
• a movement unit that moves the head or the medium in the first direction in accordance with a predetermined target movement amount A;
• a movement amount measurement unit that measures an actual movement amount B of the head or the medium in the first direction;
• and
• a drive control unit that controls driving of the first piezoelectric element and the second piezoelectric element based on a difference C between the predetermined target movement amount A and the actual movement amount B,
• wherein the first piezoelectric element is disposed on a side of the head in the second direction,
• wherein the second piezoelectric element is disposed on a side of the head in the first direction, and
• wherein, after the actual movement amount B and the difference C are determined, the drive control unit drives either one of the first piezoelectric element or the second piezoelectric element to correct a position of either the head or the medium according to the difference C, such that a location of the head or medium aligns with the predetermined target movement amount A.
