    • The invention relates to an illumination device (10) for an endoscope (20), the device comprising illumination means (1) for coupling light into a light guide (2) connectable to the device, the illumination means comprising an LED matrix array (3) comprising a plurality of LED pixels (4a, . . . , 4n) forming an emission area (4), and the device comprising a light guide port (5) associated with the illumination means (1) for positioning a light-guiding transmission area (2a), which is disposed at an end of the light guide, essentially orthogonally to a main emission direction (L) of the emission area (4) of the LED matrix array (3), wherein the device comprises detection means which are configured to detect LED pixels of the emission area (4) that are directed at non-light-guiding portions (7a, , . . . , 7n) of the light guide (2) in the main emission direction (L), and wherein the device (10) has a control unit (8) which is configured to selectively operate the LED pixels (4a, . . . , 4n) of the LED matrix array (3) for coupling light into the light guide (2) in such a manner that at least some of the LED pixels directed at the non-guiding portions (7a, . . . , 7n) of the light guide (2) in the main emission direction (L) are operated at lower power or deactivated. The invention further relates to a method for operating an illumination device for an endoscope.
