摘要:
Provided is a method for lighting a high pressure discharge lamp capable of increasing the life thereof. The lighting method is as follows. When the time elapse after lighting up the discharge lamp is within a predetermined condition (e.g. 5 minutes or less), constant current control is performed if the lamp voltage is lower than switching voltage (here, a first voltage value V1) and constant power control is performed to maintain the lamp power at a power value W1 if the lamp voltage is equal to or above the switching voltage. After the predetermined condition (5 minutes) is exceeded, the constant power control is performed by lowering the value of the switching voltage from the first voltage value V1 to the second voltage value V2. If the lamp voltage is equal to or above the switching voltage lowered, the lamp power is maintained at power value W1.

After startup, a lighting method for a high-pressure discharge lamp is to light the lamp at a rated frequency without switching the frequency for 120 seconds (S12, S13), and thereafter to switch from the rated frequency to a more audible frequency in accordance with a change in voltage value (S21 to S23).

Constant current control is performed after the completion of starting operation of a high-pressure mercury-vapor lamp 4 and then lighting is shifted to constant power lighting. Except during a modulation forbidden period as a certain period from the completion of the starting operation, the frequency of an alternating current is subjected to frequency modulation control for being modulated to at least a first frequency and a second frequency having higher audibility than the first frequency. During the modulation forbidden period defined as a period from the completion of the starting operation until a predetermined time before lighting is shifted to constant power lighting, from the completion of the starting operation until lighting is shifted to constant power lighting, or from the completion of the starting operation until a predetermined time after lighting has been shifted to constant power lighting, the frequency modulation control is not performed and an alternating current with a third frequency lower than the second frequency is supplied. The quietness can be increased without adversely affecting the frequency modulation control on an alternating current for properly growing and maintaining protrusions of electrodes.

A high-pressure discharge lamp system has a high-pressure mercury lamp 4 and a lighting circuit 3 that operates the lamp 4. The lamp 4 includes an envelope having a light emitting part 6 having a first and a second electrode 10, 11 arranged therein and a first and a second sealing part 7, 8 oppositely extending from the light emitting part 6, and a conductor 20 electrically connected to the second electrode 11. Particularly a portion of the conductor 20 is at least in contact with or in closest proximity to the outer surface of the first sealing part 7 substantially at a single point in an area corresponding to a first metal foil 16 connected to the first electrode 10. The circuit 3 activates the lamp 4 by placing high-frequency voltage at a predetermined frequency within a range of 10 [kHz]-10 [MHz], inclusive, between the electrodes 10, 11.

A projection-type image display apparatus includes a high pressure discharge lamp, which utilizes the halogen cycle, and a lamp lighting apparatus that controls lighting of the high pressure discharge lamp. The lamp lighting apparatus performs lamp refresh processing to improve a lamp property. The lamp refresh processing involves performing low power lighting of the high pressure discharge lamp by changing the lighting power of the high pressure discharge lamp to a value that is lower than the rated power, and thereafter performing high power lighting of the high pressure discharge lamp by changing the lighting power to a value that is higher than the lighting power during the low power lighting.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a lighting method and the like that can prevent a lamp temperature of each individual high-pressure mercury lamp from being beyond a proper temperature range of a halogen cycle. The lighting method maintains a discharge of the high-pressure mercury lamp that has a function of the halogen cycle. The control is performed as follows. From when the high-pressure mercury lamp is lighted up to when a lamp voltage Vla reaches a first voltage value V1, a constant current control is performed. When the lamp voltage Vla reaches the first voltage value V1, the constant current control is switched to a constant power control which is performed at a first power value W1. While the discharge of the lamp is maintained, when the lamp voltage Vla reaches a voltage value (second voltage value V2) at which a state of the halogen cycle deviates from a proper state, the constant power control is performed by reducing the first power value W1 to a second power value W2.
