A light emitting element driving circuit for high speed modulation includes an electric current source for generating a constant electric current for driving a light emitting element and an electric current switch for switching a portion of a path for an electric current flowing into the electric current source to one of a path including the light emitting element and another path excluding the light emitting element, in accordance with a data signal. The driving circuit further includes a capacitor that is charged by the application of a supply voltage to thereby boost the supply voltage, and a boost switching part. The boost switching part switches another portion of the path for an electric current flowing into the electric current source to one of a path for charging the capacitor and another path for applying the supply voltage boosted by the capacitor to the light emitting element, in accordance with a control signal corresponding to the data signal.
