Abstract:
This light emission control circuit controls a first switching element for controlling a current that flows to a light-emitting element connected between a first node and one end of an inductor, and a second switching element for controlling a current that flows from the other end of the inductor to a second node. The light emission control circuit has a driving circuit that generates a first control signal for controlling the first switching element, and a switching control circuit that generate a second control signal for controlling the second switching element, and deactivates the second control signal in order to bring the second switching element into an off-state, during a period during which the first switching element is in an off-state.

Claim (Index 10):
A light emission control circuit that controls a first switching element for controlling a current that flows to a light-emitting element connected between a first node and one end of an inductor and a second switching element for controlling a current that flows from the other end of the inductor to a second node, the light emission control circuit comprising:\n a driving circuit that activates or deactivates a first control signal in order to bring the first switching element into an on-state or an off-state; and a switching control circuit that activates or deactivates a second control signal in order to bring the second switching element into an on-state or an off-state during a period during which the first control signal is activated, shortens a period during which activation of the second control signal is inhibited in a period during which the first control signal is deactivated, if a current that flows to the light-emitting element when the first control signal is activated is smaller than a predetermined value, and extends the period during which activation of the second control signal is inhibited in the period during which the first control signal is deactivated, if the current that flows to the light-emitting element when the first control signal is activated is larger than the predetermined value.
