Abstract
The cost of a light-emitting element matrix array is reduced by implementing a function equivalent to a light-emitting thyristor by elements different therefrom. A plurality of combinational element are arrayed in one line. The plurality of combinational elements are divided into groups n by n. The bases of transistors included in each group are separately connected to base-selecting lines and the anodes of light-emitting diodes included in each group are commonly connected to one anode terminal every group.
