Abstract

A drive circuit is provided for supplying a drive current to drive a plurality of driven elements. The drive circuit includes a switch circuit having an input terminal for receiving a drive signal alternately changing between an on state and an off state, and an output terminal connected to the driven elements; and a constant current circuit connected to the switch circuit for adjusting the drive current at a constant level. The constant current circuit is formed of a depletion type MOS transistor.
