Definitions
- the invention is based on a metal halide discharge lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such lamps can be used, for example, for video projection, endoscopy or also for medical technology (operating room lights). They are particularly suitable for video projection in liquid crystal technology (LCD), in particular also for large-screen television screens with an aspect ratio of 16: 9. Typical power levels are 100 to 1500 W.
- LCD liquid crystal technology
- the lamps In addition to a high luminous efficacy, the lamps must above all have good to very good color rendering for the purposes mentioned. This is especially true in combination with reflectors, such as those used for projection purposes. An even distribution of luminance and color on the projection surface is very important.
- the surface of the discharge vessel has a reflective / thermally insulating coating in the region of a first electrode - hereinafter referred to as "heat accumulation coating" for short. This is immediately followed by an area in which the surface has a matt finish. This area extends at least to the middle between the two electrodes and at most to the middle of a wire wound around the second electrode.
- the lamp is designed for axial installation in a reflector. Viewed perpendicularly to the reflector axis, one or, if applicable, both arc cores formed in the immediate vicinity of the electrode during AC operation are from the
- a disadvantage is that a considerable part of the radiation emanating from these arc cores is lost as a result of scattering at the matting for imaging by the reflector. This also reduces the effective light output of the lamp-reflector system.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate this disadvantage and to provide a lamp for projection purposes with improved luminous efficacy, which is also distinguished by a homogeneous color distribution, good color rendering and a long service life.
- the basic idea of the invention is based on the matting of the surface of the discharge vessel to delimit an area between the electrodes.
- the width of the matt surface is smaller than or at most the same size as the distance between the electrodes. This ensures that a large part of the radiation from both arc cores passes through the clear, ie non-matted surface as directed radiation. This can then be optically imaged efficiently with the aid of a suitable, for example parabolic, reflector.
- a suitable compromise between luminous flux and uniformity of the illumination can be achieved by the value of the width of the matted surface and the roughness of the matting.
- the quotient of width B of the matt surface and distance d of the electrodes can vary in the range 0.1 ⁇ B / d _ ⁇ 1. Particularly good results are achieved with quotients between 0.4 and 0.8.
- the matting is preferably applied centrally between the electrodes on the surface of the discharge vessel.
- the advantage of the invention becomes clear when one compares the decrease in the luminous flux of a lamp by conventional matting - according to the teaching of EP-A 0 459 786 - with that by a matting according to the invention. While in the first case the usable luminous flux decreases to 65%, a comparable lamp according to the invention still achieves typically 80% of the luminous flux of the unmatted lamp with identical uniformity of illumination.
- the discharge vessel consists of a translucent material, for example quartz glass. It is hermetically sealed at two ends, e.g. by
- Crimp seals and can be attached to one or both Ends be coated with a heat accumulation coating.
- An important feature is that in each case a clear, ie uncoated, area adjoins both edges of the matt surface. This clear area of the surface can be of different widths at both ends, which results in two differently expanded heat accumulation layers. In the vertical mode of operation, the less extensive heat accumulation layer is at the top. In this way, a temperature difference between the upper and lower end of the discharge vessel which is established by convection can be counteracted and the luminous efficiency can thereby be increased.
- the lamp is advantageously combined with a reflector to form a structural unit, as described in EP-A 459 786.
- the lamp is approximately axially mounted in the reflector.
- the reflector is e.g. dichroic coated.
- the lamp in the reflector is oriented such that the less extensive heat accumulation layer is arranged in the vicinity of the reflector apex. As a result, the shading of the reflector is kept low and consequently the light output is optimized.
- Fig. A schematic representation of the lamp with reflector.
- the figure shows a metal halide lamp 1 with a power of 170 W and a discharge vessel 2 made of quartz glass, which is squeezed 3 on two sides.
- the discharge volume is 0.7 cm 3 .
- the axially opposite electrodes 4 are 5 mm apart. They consist of an electrode shaft 5 made of thoriated tungsten, onto which a filament 6 made of tungsten is pushed.
- Shaft 5 is connected to an external power supply 8 in the area of the pinch 3 via a film 7.
- the lamp 1 is arranged approximately axially in a parabolic reflector 9, the arc that is formed between the two electrodes 4 in operation being in the focus of the paraboloid.
- Part of the first pinch 3a sits directly in a central bore of the reflector and is held there in a base 10 by means of cement, the first power supply line 8a being connected to a screw base contact 10a.
- the second pinch 3b faces the reflector opening 11.
- the second power supply line 8b is connected in the area of the opening 11 to a cable 12 which, in isolation from the wall of the reflector, is returned to a separate contact 10b.
- the outer surfaces of the ends 13 of the discharge vessel are coated with ZrO 2 for heat accumulation purposes.
- the heat accumulation layer 13b facing the reflector opening 11 has a greater extent than the heat accumulation layer 13a arranged axially opposite one another.
- the central part 14 of the discharge vessel 2 is matted centrally between the electrodes 4.
- the width B of this matting is 3 mm, which gives the ratio B / d of width B and the electrode spacing d to 0.6.
- the on a project The average illuminance measured on the screen is 6080 lx, with an illuminance of 13180 lx resulting in the center of the projection screen (the total area being divided into 3x3 individual areas).
- the filling of the discharge volume contains 200 mbar argon and mercury, 1.15 mg AU, 0.1 mg InJ and 0.36 mg HgBr.
