摘要:
A method for driving a discharge lamp that supplies an AC current to a discharge lamp having a first electrode and a second electrode so as to produce discharge and to cause the discharge lamp to emit light includes, during a steady operation in which the AC current is supplied to the discharge lamp, changing a difference between the absolute values of average current values for two polarities during one cycle of the AC current in accordance with a predetermined pattern.

A method for driving a discharge lamp having a first electrode and a second electrode includes the steps of, in a situation where a tip portion of the first electrode becomes higher than a tip portion of the second electrode in temperature when power of the same amount is fed to the first and second electrodes during a steady operation, changing a difference between the absolute values of average current values for two polarities during one cycle of the AC current in accordance with a predetermined pattern, and setting an operation time ratio of the first electrode as an anode during one cycle so as to be smaller than an operation time ratio of the second electrode as an anode during one cycle.

A light source lamp unit (10) includes a light source lamp (11), an ellipsoidal reflector (12) and a plate body (19). The plate body (19) is provided behind the reflector (12) with a gap kept therebetween, which has a shape corresponding to the profile of a reflecting portion (122) of the reflector (12). A cooling channel for passing a cooling air is formed between the plate body (19) and the reflector (12). The width of the cooling channel in a direction along an optical axis of the light source lamp (11) is minimized at a part near a neck portion (121) of the reflecting portion (122) and enlarged toward the peripheral edge of the reflecting portion (122) of the reflector (12).

A light source device includes: a light source lamp that has a light-emitting portion and sealing sections provided on both sides of the light-emitting portion; a reflector that aligns and irradiates a light beam radiated by the light source lamp in a predetermined direction; and a sub-reflection mirror of which reflection surface opposes to a reflection surface of the reflector and reflects the light beam radiated by the light-emitting portion of the light source lamp toward the reflector. In the sub-reflection mirror, an adhesion surface of an insertion hole is bonded to the sealing section by an adhesive in a condition that the sealing section is inserted in the insertion hole. A cutting portion of the sub-reflection mirror is so formed to extend over a portion bonded by the adhesive in plan view.
