PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a visible light communication device capable of performing visible light communication even in an environment where the light intensity of illumination light irradiated on the periphery of communication equipment changes without installing a complex circuit and expensive components, and an image forming apparatus including the device.SOLUTION: A visible light communication device includes: a zero-cross detection unit that detects a phase of a zero-cross point where voltage of a commercial AC power supply is zero; and a visible light communication unit that performs communication by using visible light or spectral light on the periphery thereof with the light intensity synchronized with the zero-cross point detected by the zero-cross detection unit. An image forming apparatus includes the above-mentioned visible light communication device, and an image forming unit that forms images on the basis of data of communication between the visible light communication device and other devices. |
