Abstract
A print head includes: current-driven non-single crystal light emitting elements arranged in a line; thin film transistors that are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the light emitting elements and each supplies a driving current to a corresponding one of the light emitting elements; a detector that detects, when one of the light emitting elements corresponding to one of the thin film transistors emits light, an output voltage of the one of the thin film transistors; and a hardware processor that determines a control voltage to be applied to each of the thin film transistors when next light is emitted according to the output voltage of the one of the thin film transistors detected by the detector and a driving current to be supplied by each of the thin film transistors to cause each of the light emitting elements to emit light with a target light amount.
