A control device for the vibration generation device includes the vibration generation device including a stator, and a rotor provided so as to be able to rotate around a predetermined axis with respect to the stator, and having a weight having a gravity center at a position shifted from the predetermined axis, and a control section adapted to control a start-up period maximum voltage value, which is a maximum voltage value of a drive signal to be applied to the vibration generation device in a start-up period, to become larger than a steady operation period voltage value, which is a voltage value of the drive signal to be applied to the vibration generation device in a steady operation period.
