A light-emitting-diode-driving device includes a control circuit that is configured to perform constant current control with a DC-DC converter so that a value of a current detected by a current detection unit agrees with a prescribed reference current value to be supplied to a light source. The control circuit includes a reference-current-instruction unit, a threshold-voltage-setting unit, and a comparator circuit. The reference-current-instruction unit is configured to set the prescribed reference current value. The threshold-voltage-setting unit is configured to set a threshold voltage for determining a short circuit failure in the light source. The comparator circuit is configured to compare, with the threshold voltage, a value of a voltage that is detected by a voltage detection unit. The control circuit is configured to make the threshold-voltage-setting unit reduce the threshold voltage, when the reference-current-instruction unit reduces the prescribed reference current value.
