Light emitting device

Abstract

A light emitting device includes: multiple light-emitting-element arrays each including multiple light emitting elements; a first wire commonly connected to the multiple light-emitting-element arrays; a second wire connected to each of groups of multiple light-emitting-element arrays obtained by dividing the multiple light-emitting-element arrays; and a transfer unit that includes multiple transfer thyristors and that performs lighting control on the multiple light emitting elements included in each of the multiple light-emitting-element arrays via the first wire and the second wire, in which the transfer thyristors are larger in number than the light-emitting-element arrays, and the transfer thyristors that are adjacent to each other are connected to a single first light-emitting-element array included in the multiple light-emitting-element arrays.
