A liquid transporting apparatus includes a head which has individual channels. Individual electrodes and insulating layers which cover the individual electrodes respectively are provided on a channel-forming surface in which the individual channels are formed. When a predetermined electric potential is applied to the individual electrodes, an ink exists entirely in each of the individual channels, and a meniscus of the ink is formed in a discharge section corresponding to each of the individual channels. When a driver IC switches the electric potential of the individual electrodes to a ground electric potential, a part of the ink on a surface of the insulating layer moves toward the discharge section, and is discharged from the discharge section to outside of the head. Accordingly, there is provided a liquid transporting apparatus which is capable of stably discharging a liquid such as the ink in a predetermined amount.
