Abstract
A light-emitting element driving circuit includes a drive transistor having a first terminal receiving a power supply voltage, a second terminal coupled to an anode of a light-emitting element, and a control terminal receiving an input signal, the drive transistor supplying a pulse current and a first bias current to the light-emitting element. A constant-current source is coupled to the anode of the light-emitting element and supplies a second bias current to the light-emitting element. A compensation circuit controls the second bias current so that a variation in the first bias current due to a temperature variation can be compensated for thereby the sum of the first and second bias currents is kept constant.
