Abstract

See full text

An LED array has a plurality of LED blocks each of which can independently be illuminated or extinguished. The LED array includes an illumination control unit for illuminating, after the lapse of a time period T1 after a block is illuminated, a succeeding block; an extinguishment control unit for extinguishing, after the lapse of a time period T2 after a block is illuminated, another block which has been illuminated since before the former block was illuminated; and a time control unit for determining the time period T2. The time control unit is adapted to automatically control the time period T2 in accordance with the outputs from a line sensor which reads out an original image illuminated by the LED array.
