Abstract (en)
A semiconductor-light-source control device includes a regulator and a driving control section. The regulator generates a driving current flowing through a semiconductor light source. The driving control section controls the regulator so that a magnitude of the driving current approaches a target value. A luminance of the semiconductor light source is adjusted by repeating a first state in which the magnitude of the driving current is controlled to approach the target value and a second state in which the driving current is smaller than that in the first state. Both the duty ratio of the first and second states and the target value change according to a setting value of the luminance of the semiconductor light source. One of the target value and the duty ratio is set so as to have a one-to-one correspondence relationship with the setting value.
