A light emitting element driving device, which flashing-drive a plurality of light emitting element arrays connected in parallel by switching elements connected in series with each of the plurality of light emitting element arrays, the light emitting element driving device including: a current detection unit configured to detect respective currents flowing through each of the plurality of light emitting element arrays as currents of the light emitting element arrays; a selection unit configured to select the smallest current of the light emitting element arrays of the detected currents obtained by the current detection unit; and an output voltage control unit configured to control output voltage supplied to the plurality of light emitting element arrays so that the current of the light emitting element arrays selected by the selection unit becomes a preset reference current value. |
