    摘要: A light source apparatus includes: a light source unit; and a control unit configured to perform lighting control, wherein the light source unit emits first color light at a first timing, and emits second color light at a second timing which delays after the first timing by a predetermined period, in accordance with the lighting control, and the control unit performs a plurality of times of lighting control based on the predetermined period, so that at least a part of a period in which the light source unit emits the second color light in accordance with a first lighting control overlaps with at least a part of a period, in which the light source unit emits the first color light in accordance with a second lighting control, which is performed after the first lighting control.

    摘要: An imager including a self test mode. The imager includes a pixel array for providing multiple pixel output signals via multiple columns; and a test switch for (a) receiving a test signal from a test generator and (b) disconnecting a pixel output signal from a column of the pixel array. The test switch provides the test signal to the column of the pixel array. The test signal includes a test voltage that replaces the pixel output signal. The test signal is digitized by an analog-to digital converter (ADC) and provided to a processor. The processor compares the digitized test signal to an expected pixel output signal. The processor also interpolates the output signal from a corresponding pixel using adjacent pixels, when the test switch disconnects the pixel output signal from the column of the pixel array.
