Abstract
A driving circuit includes an amplification circuit configured to output an amplified modulation signal and a level shift circuit. The level shift circuit includes a second gate driver that outputs a third gate signal and a fourth gate signal, a third transistor that operates based on the third gate signal, and a fourth transistor that operates based on the fourth gate signal. The second gate driver outputs the third gate signal for controlling the third transistor to be conductive and the fourth gate signal for controlling the fourth transistor to be nonconductive in a second period in which a driving signal is fixed in a second potential that is higher than a first potential and lower than a third potential and the fourth gate signal for controlling the fourth transistor to be nonconductive.
