A liquid ejection head includes a nozzle plate including a nozzle that ejects a liquid, a pressure chamber that communicates with the nozzle, an actuator configured to vary a volume of the pressure chamber in response to a driving signal, and a drive circuit configured to generate the driving signal. The driving signal includes an ejection waveform for ejecting the liquid and causing: an expansion potential difference for expanding the volume of the pressure chamber, a contraction potential difference for contracting the volume of the pressure chamber, and one or more intermediate potential differences between the expansion potential difference and the contraction potential difference, and a cancellation waveform that includes a trapezoidal wave for suppressing residual oscillation after the ejection of the liquid.
