Abstract

A light emission control circuit includes a drive circuit that generates a first control signal in order to control a first switching element, and a switching control circuit that generates a second control signal in order to control a second switching element. The switching control circuit maintains the second control signal in an inactivation state in a period in which the first control signal is inactivated in a case where an ON duty ratio of the first control signal is equal to or more than a predetermined value, and maintains the second control signal in an activation state in a part of the period in which the first control signal is inactivated in a case where the ON duty ratio of the first control signal is less than the predetermined value.
