Zusammenfassung:A detection unit that detects the presence of an object that can come into contact with a liquid ejecting unit with relative movement between a medium and the liquid ejecting unit is provided with a piezoelectric film sensor that outputs an electrical signal when the object comes into contact with the detection unit, where the detection unit has first, second, and third plate portions formed so as to be continuous, the first plate portion is fixed so that the second and third plate portions are cantilevered, and the second plate portion, in a state where the piezoelectric film sensor is mounted thereon, is continuous with the first plate portion and is disposed diagonally with respect to the vertical direction of the medium, and the third plate portion is bent from the second plate portion and faces the medium leaving a gap between the third plate portion and the medium.
