Abstract
A light-source-driving control device thins a pixel at an edge portion of image data by a first pixel width; sets a second pixel width at the edge portion such that a ratio between the first and second pixel widths is constant; creates light amount information including a first light amount with which a pixel not included in the set second pixel width is exposed, and a second light amount with which a pixel included in the second pixel width is exposed; selects the first or second light amount based on a power-modulation control signal; drives light sources according to the selected light amount and a light-source-modulation pulse signal; and counts an addition value of pixel density considering a pixel width and a light amount, based on a data-width setting signal based on the second pixel width, and on a light-amount setting signal based on the light amount information.
