In this paper, we present our approach regarding the compensation of defective pixels in the infrared array detector used in the NINJA spectrograph for the Subaru Telescope. While it is typical to use a detector with minimal defective pixels for infrared spectrographs, our HAWAII-2RG detector has a central area with a defective pixel rate of 10%. Therefore, we compensate for defective pixels by mechanically shifting the detector along the focal plane in the direction of dispersion. This approach applies the concept of dithering in imaging observation to a spectrograph, and the shifting mechanism is designed to have a maximum movement distance of 8 mm. We present the expected performance of the compensation and the actual mechanical structure fabricated.
