LIGHT SOURCE CONTROL DEVICE AND LIGHT SOURCE CONTROL METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain light-emission of a light source even if any of a plurality of light sources connected in parallel breaks down.SOLUTION: A control unit 900 determines whether a faulty light source exists in light sources 11-1 to 11-m connected in parallel. If a faulty light source...

Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain light-emission of a light source even if any of a plurality of light sources connected in parallel breaks down.SOLUTION: A control unit 900 determines whether a faulty light source exists in light sources 11-1 to 11-m connected in parallel. If a faulty light source exists, the control unit 900 controls at least one of a current supply unit 100 and a switch unit 140 so that current is sustainably supplied to normal light sources which are the light sources other than the faulty light source out of the light sources 11-1 to 11-m.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】並列接続された複数の光源のいずれかが故障しても、光源の持続的な発光を行う。【解決手段】制御部900が、並列接続された光源11−1〜11−mにおいて故障光源が存在するか否かを判定する。制御部900は、故障光源が存在する場合、光源11−1〜11−mのうち当該故障光源以外の光源である正常光源への電流の持続的な供給が行われるように、電流供給部100およびスイッチ部140の少なくとも一方を制御する。【選択図】図1
