ABSTRACT:
In an apparatus for driving a piezoelectric element to close and open a valve member by expanding and contracting a volume of a pressure chamber, at an initial stage of a closing state of the valve member, a higher voltage than a conventional charging voltage or a lower voltage than a conventional discharging voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element, to thus create an initial large closing force at the valve member.
