ABSTRACT:
A liquid cartridge is detachably mounted in a liquid ejecting device, and supplies liquid to the liquid ejecting device when mounted. The liquid cartridge includes a liquid accommodating chamber, a float member movably disposed in the liquid accommodating chamber, and a detection member moving in conjunction with the float member and being subject to be detected by an external light detector for determining remaining amounts of liquid in the liquid accommodating chamber. A part of the detection member is located at a detection position located above an uppermost liquid surface reached when a predetermined maximum amount of liquid is accommodated in the liquid accommodating chamber. At least a part of the liquid accommodating chamber has light transmissive characteristics so that light from the light detector can reach the detection position. The detection member passes the detection position in conjunction with the float member.
