Abstract
A light source including a light-emitting device including a substrate, and a first light-emitting element and a second light-emitting element that are located on the substrate. The light source further includes a drive circuit to supply a current to drive the light-emitting device, a switch configured to switch between a first state of supplying a current to only the first light-emitting element and a second state of supplying a current to only the second light-emitting element, and a timing controller configured to control a timing of an operation of the switch. A light emission peak wavelength of the first light-emitting element is 430 nm or greater and less than 490 nm. A light emission peak wavelength of the second light-emitting element is 490 nm or greater and less than 570 nm. A forward voltage of the second light-emitting element is less than a forward voltage of the first light-emitting element.
