A liquid discharging apparatus includes a plurality of liquid channels each having a discharge port, a control electrode extended on a surface defining the liquid channel from the discharge port toward an upstream side in a direction of flow of a liquid, an insulating film which coats the control electrode, and an electric potential control section which controls an electric potential of the control electrode with respect to the liquid. When a predetermined electric potential difference are set between the liquid and the control electrode, a liquid repellence of a surface of the insulating film is lowered due to an electrowetting phenomenon so that the liquid can move toward the discharge port on an area of the liquid channel in which the insulating film is formed. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the liquid discharging apparatus which is capable of discharging a liquid by a simple structure.
