Abstract:
A drive circuit is configured to supply a current to a light emitting element. The drive circuit includes a plurality of switching elements configured to switch between ON/OFF states with a modulation signal, a capacitor connected in parallel with the light emitting element, and a control module configured to control the switching elements so that a voltage of the capacitor does not become lower than a threshold.

Claim (Index 6):
The drive circuit according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a first pulse detection module configured to detect a pulse width of the modulation signal, wherein. the stop control module controls the modulation signal based on the pulse width detected by the first pulse detection module.
