An electro-optical device includes a controller, a reference current
source, a correction current source, a combining unit, and an
electro-optical element. The controller generates a reference current
control signal defining a first period during which a reference current
is output, and a correction current control signal defining a second
period during which a correction current is output, the second period
being shorter than the first period. The reference current source
generates the reference current based on the reference current control
signal. The correction current source generates the correction current
based on the correction current control signal. The combining unit
combines the reference current and the correction current to generate a
driving current. The electro-optical element emits an amount of light
corresponding to the driving current. The controller generates the
reference current control signal and the correction current control
signal so that the second period is shorter than the first period.
