Pixel modulation circuit and recording apparatus using the same

摘要

A pixel modulation circuit outputs a pulse signal having a pulse width corresponding to pixel data representing a gradation level of each pixel. The pixel modulation circuit comprises a first triangular pulse generating circuit for generating a periodic triangular pulse signal, a complement and antilog output circuit capable of outputting a level signal corresponding to both antilog and complement values of pixel data, and a comparison circuit for comparing the triangular pulse signal with the level signal.
