1. An apparatus for controlling an illumination device for optical communication, the apparatus comprising:
- an optical array including a plurality of light emitting elements;
a visible ray communication unit for outputting an electrical signal for visible ray communication;
an optical array driving unit for providing a control signal for individually controlling ON/OFF of the plurality of light emitting elements;
a logic operation unit for performing logic operations on signals provided from the visible ray communication unit and the optical array driving unit, and outputting resultant operated signals to the optical array; and
a gain control unit for controlling a gain of the signal output from the visible ray communication unit,wherein the optical array driving unit provides the control signal for controlling at least two light emitting elements to be in an ON state within a same time slot, andwherein the gain control unit is provided between the visible ray communication unit and the logic operation unit.
