Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce change in the chromatic characteristics due to dimming and enable instant starting and restarting by encapsulating a rare gas and metal halides in a light emitting tube fitted internally with a pair of electrodes on which a pulse voltage is impressed controllably. CONSTITUTION:A high pressure discharge lamp 1 is internally fitted with a pair of electrodes 3a, 3b in a light emitting tube 2 made of quartz and connected with an external starter circuit 7 and a current control circuit 8, pulse circuit 9 through leads 4a, 4b of molybdenum foils 6a, 6b. Rare gas such as Xe, Kr, etc., and metal halides are encapsulated in the light emitting tube 2, and no mercury encapsulated. Therefore, it is possible to reduce change of the chromatic characteristics resulting from mercury even though the dimming is generated by a plurality of dimming switch boards 10 provided in the pulse circuit 9. Because the rare gas is already gasified, it does not require the time for evaporation to allow performing instant starting, and this does not use any large quantity of mercury which might give an obstruction for the start. and restarting can take place with a low pulse voltage.

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional metal halide lamp, a rare gas, mercury, and a metal halide are enclosed in an arc tube having a pair of electrodes built therein, and the lamp is turned on by a constant input.

However, in such a conventional metal halide lamp, mercury is enclosed in the arc tube in order to maintain the lamp voltage. Therefore, when the metal halide lamp is dimmed, radiated light is emitted. There is a problem that the color characteristics change greatly.

For example, NaI-ScI 3 -H is placed in the arc tube.
In a metal halide lamp containing g, when the lamp input is large and the temperature inside the arc tube is high, Na and Sc mainly emit light as shown in the spectral distribution diagram of FIG. 3, but the lamp input is lowered for dimming. As a result, the temperature of the arc tube decreases, and the vapor pressure of NaI and ScI 3 having a low vapor pressure in the arc tube also decreases. For this reason, as shown in the spectral distribution chart of FIG. 4, the main body of light emission is mercury, and the color characteristics change greatly before and after dimming.

When pulse lighting is used to change the input for dimming, the duty ratio of the pulse current supplied to the pair of electrodes is controlled. For example, a rectangular pulse current (peak value) is increased. When the on-duty is reduced, the arc temperature rises when the pulse current passes, and mercury emission with large excitation energy is advantageous, and the emission of mercury as shown in FIG. 4 becomes the main component. Mercury light emission becomes more prominent than the spectral distribution shown in FIG. 3 when the (peak value) is decreased and the on-duty is increased. As a result, the color temperature increases and the average color rendering index Ra decreases.

[0006] Further, the rare gas emits light at the time of starting and lighting, but the filling pressure of the rare gas is several tens to at most 200 torr.
The problem is that it is difficult to perform instant start (lighting) and restart because the light emission is very weak due to its low voltage and efficiency is low, and the buffer gas mercury that maintains the lamp voltage has high resistance. There is also.

The arc tube 2 is filled with a rare gas such as Xe or Kr and a metal halide. In order to inspect the performance of the high-pressure discharge lamp 1 configured as described above, the pair of lead wires 4a and 4b is connected to a starting circuit 7 that generates a pulse voltage of, for example, 15 KV, and a steady 8 A series circuit of a current control circuit 8 for supplying a double current and a pulse circuit 9 for generating a pulse is connected in parallel, and a switch board 10 having a plurality of dimming switches is connected to the pulse generation circuit 9. The following experiment was conducted.

10 mg of NaI and 2 mg of ScI 3 were encapsulated.

Therefore, when the high-pressure discharge lamp 1 is turned on and turned on, a power switch (not shown) is turned on, a current of 8 times the normal lamp current is supplied by the control of the current control circuit 6, and then the current is gradually decreased. As shown in FIG. 2, the luminous flux can be instantly raised. In this way, by supplying a large current at the time of starting, it is possible to supplement the decrease in luminous efficiency of the rare gas and instantaneously light the lamp.

Further, as shown in Table 1 below, the dimmer switches (1) to (3) are sequentially turned on to appropriately control the crest value of the pulse current supplied to the pair of electrodes 3a and 3b. In addition, it was demonstrated that even when the dimming ratio was controlled to 100% to 20%, the change in the average color rendering index Ra was small, and the change in the color characteristics due to the dimming was small. Further, it was found that the total luminous flux was large over almost the entire dimming ratio and the efficiency was high. Then, since Xe is sealed in the arc tube 2 at 2 atm or more, the potential gradient increases,
It is not possible to raise the potential gradient to the level equivalent to that of mercury with normal application of power source lighting. However, if the on-duty of the pulse current supplied to the pair of electrodes 3a and 3b is reduced, the potential gradient can be increased to about mercury. this is,
This is because when the pulse current does not flow, the arc in the arc tube 2 cools and the arc temperature decreases, so that the electric resistance of the rare gas of Xe increases. This makes it possible to obtain a lamp voltage comparable to that of mercury.
