Abstract:
1. A light source turn-on/off controller comprising: an input section of a turn-on/off timing signal; a PWM signal generating section for generating a pulse signal responding to a rise or a fall of the timing signal, a duty cycle of the pulse signal changing so as to simulate a rise or a fall of emission in turn-on or turn-off of a filament; an emission control section for controlling an emitting section responding to the pulse signal from the PWM signal generating section; and a storage section for storing a control data table for duty cycle control by the PWM signal generating section, wherein the control data table includes a rise table to be referred to in the rise of emission and a fall table to be referred to in the fall of emission, and each of the rise table and the fall table indicates association between elapsed time from the rise or the fall of the timing signal and the duty cycle of the pulse signal, and a relationship between the tables indicates that they cannot be superposed on each other.
