Abstract
It is an object of the invention to provide an improved illumination control circuit comprising a light emission element FL, a driving elementfor driving the light emission element FL, and a compensation unitare connected in series with respect to a power source voltage Vcc. Further, a reference unitfor generating a constant voltage Vz and a detecting unitare connected in series with respect to the power source voltage Vcc. The detecting unitis provided for detecting a differential voltage Vbetween the power source voltage Vcc and the constant voltage Vz. Once there is a change in the power source voltage Vcc, the detecting unitdetects a voltage change of the power source voltage Vcc in accordance with the differential voltage V, generates a detection voltage Vformed by dividing the differential voltage V, while the compensation unitgenerates a compensation voltage Vfollowing the detection voltage V, thereby inhibiting a change of a driving voltage Vx applied between two ends of the light emission element FL and the driving element, in response to a change of the power source voltage Vcc.
