Abstract: A light emitter array diagnostic apparatus for diagnosing whether individual light emitter elements in a light emitter array unit normally emit light or not includes a check data generator which supplied check data so as to cause sequential simultaneous emission of light from at least one light emitter element in each of a plurality of groups of the light emitter array unit divided into such groups, until all of the light emitter elements emit light. The light outputs from the individual light emitter elements are received and photoelectrically converted by photo detector units, and a diagnostic unit connected to the photo detector units and including an adder and/or a comparator diagnoses the state of luminescence of the individual light emitter elements.

Abstract: A driver IC of a light-emitting diode array head for an electronic photograph printer includes a current mirror circuit having a reference element and at least an output element so as to produce a reference current by use of a digital signal as an input thereto, a reference current source capable of outputting a plurality of reference current values, a selection circuit for specifying and selecting one of a plurality of reference current values from the reference current source, to be applied as an input current to the current mirror and an output control circuit for controlling the on and off states of an output current to be supplied to the output element of the current mirror circuit in accordance with a light emission control signal externally supplied.
