An LED drive circuit includes a plurality of LEDs, a power supply circuit for outputting a variable output voltage to supply electricity to the LEDs, a plurality of drive transistors for driving the respective LEDs, a bias voltage setting circuit for generating and outputting a reference gate voltage for causing the drive transistors to have drain currents having a predetermined constant value, and a minimum drain voltage for causing the drive transistors to have the predetermined constant drain currents when the reference gate voltage is input to the drive transistors, and a voltage detection circuit for sequentially comparing drain voltages of the drive transistors with the minimum drain voltage to output one of the drain voltages smaller than the minimum drain voltage, wherein the power supply circuit controls the output voltage so that the drain voltage output from the voltage detection circuit becomes greater than or equal to the minimum drain voltage.
