  • Patent number: 11924938
    Abstract: An illuminator includes: a light emitter including a light-emitting diode; a temperature sensor configured to detect a current temperature of the light emitter; and an illumination controller configured to adjust a drive voltage being supplied to the light emitter in accordance with the current temperature. The illumination controller includes a reference temperature storage in which a reference temperature is stored in advance and is configured to adjust the drive voltage by detecting the current temperature from the temperature sensor on a constant time cycle and comparing the current temperature with the reference temperature.
