Abstract
A driving device for driving an in-vehicle lighting device in which a plurality of light sources are arranged in one direction, comprising a detection unit configured to detect an environment of a vehicle, and a driving unit configured to drive the plurality of light sources in sequence in the one direction, wherein the driving unit drives the plurality of light sources so that driving timings of the plurality of light sources will change in accordance with a detection value obtained by the detection unit.
Claims9
A driving device for driving an in-vehicle lighting device in which a plurality of light sources are arranged in one direction, comprising:
- a detection unit configured to detect an environment of a vehicle;
- and
- a driving unit configured to drive the plurality of light sources in sequence in the one direction,
- wherein in a first case in which a detection value obtained by the detection unit is larger than a reference value, the driving unit will drive the plurality of light sources in sequence so that a time from a driving timing of a given light source to a driving timing of a subsequent light source will decrease in sequence, and
- in a second case in which the detection value is smaller than the reference value, the driving unit will drive the plurality of light sources in sequence so the time for the driving timing of the given light source to the driving timing of the subsequent light source will not decrease in sequence compared to the first case.
