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 8):
The drive circuit according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n an external power supply configured to directly supply a voltage to the capacitor; and a rectifier configured to limit a current flow between the external power supply and the capacitor to a certain direction.
