Abstract

A planar light-emitting module lighting circuit uses a lamp comprising an organic electroluminescence layer and electrodes sandwiching the organic electroluminescence layer as a load, and applies a current to the load so as to cause the organic electroluminescence layer to emit light. In the planer light-emitting module lighting circuit, a current at a lighting start time of the lamp is made small as compared with a current at a stationary lighting time at which a predetermined time period has passed since a lighting start.
