Abstract
A light source module includes a substrate unit for mounting multiple light emitting diodes thereon to electrically connecting them; first and second electrical connecting terminals for supplying a current to the light emitting diodes based on a voltage applied from outside the substrate unit; and a characteristic setting unit for presetting characteristic information corresponding to a electrical characteristic of the light emitting diodes. Further, the light source module includes a third electrical connecting terminal for outputting a setting signal based on the characteristic information preset in the characteristic setting unit, and the characteristic setting unit is connected at least between the third and first electrical connecting terminals or between the third and second electrical connecting terminals, and the characteristic setting unit responds to a set-up power inputted from the third electrical connecting terminal to generate the setting signal.
