A print head includes a first piezoelectric element that includes a first electrode supplied with a drive signal and a second electrode supplied with a reference voltage signal and is displaced by a difference in electric potential between the first electrode and the second electrode, a cavity that is filled with a liquid ejected from a nozzle along with the displacement of the first piezoelectric element, a vibration plate that is disposed between the cavity and the first piezoelectric element, a first switch circuit that switches between supplying and not supplying the drive signal to the first electrode, and a second switch circuit that switches between electrically connecting and not electrically connecting the first electrode and the second electrode depending on an electric potential of the drive signal.
A print head comprising:
A liquid ejection apparatus comprising:
A piezoelectric element control circuit controlling a first piezoelectric element of a print head including the first piezoelectric element that includes a first electrode supplied with a drive signal and a second electrode supplied with a reference voltage signal and is displaced by a difference in electric potential between the first electrode and the second electrode, a cavity that is filled with a liquid ejected from a nozzle along with the displacement of the first piezoelectric element, and a vibration plate that is disposed between the cavity and the first piezoelectric element, the piezoelectric element control circuit comprising:
