Abstract:
Provided is a light source drive device including: a current supply device; and a light source device including a light emitting element that emits light by receiving drive current supplied from the current supply device, a temperature sensor that performs temperature detection at a position closer to the light emitting element than the current supply device, and a signal generation unit that outputs a control signal for controlling the drive current depending on a detected value of the temperature sensor to the current supply device. The signal generation unit generates a control signal for reducing the drive current depending on a temperature when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature.

Claim (Index 3):
The light source drive device of  claim 1 , wherein the current supply device includes a control resistor having one end connected to a reference voltage and is configured to output the control signal to a remaining end of the control resistor, and\n the signal generation unit sinks control current to the remaining end of the control resistor via the control signal line when the temperature is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, and increases an amount of the control current as the temperature increases.
