Abstract

PURPOSE:To unify the light distribution in a lamp life and improve a screen light flux maintenance factor by arranging a luminous tube in front of a reflecting plate so that the center of the arch-shaped arc between electrodes is located below the center axis of the reflecting plate when a lamp is horizontally lighted. CONSTITUTION:A reflecting plate 8 of a paraboloidal cold mirror made of hard glass is fitted to surround the luminous tube 1 of a metal halide lamp so that the center axis 9 of the reflecting plate 8 is located 1.4mm above the tube axis position at the arc portion of the luminous tube 1. When the reflecting plate 8 is fitted to the luminous tube 1, the effective center of the arc 7 of the luminous tube 1 at the initial stage of lighting is located 1.2mm below the center axis 9 of the reflecting plate 8. When the luminous tube 1 is horizontally lighted, the center of the arc 7 is floated 0.2mm above the tube axis of the luminous tube 1. The illuminance irregularity on a screen is reduced, and the illuminance deterioration in a lamp life can be reduced.

Conventionally, small short-arc metal halide lamps, which are constructed by integrally or removably combining an arc tube and a reflector without using an outer tube, have been overused due to their good color and high luminous efficiency. It is used in Henodo projectors, over-the-top projection television projectors, etc., and is becoming popular.

These devices are becoming more compact, and the metal halide lamps used as their light sources are
The degree of horizontal lighting is increasing. Conventionally, metal halide lamps used in such devices, for example those with a rated lamp power of 150 W, have a nearly spherical arc tube with a distance between electrodes of 5 cm, a maximum diameter of φ11 mm, and an inner diameter of φ8.8 mm, and a predetermined lamp voltage. In addition to filling approximately 150 Lorr of mercury and argon as a starting auxiliary gas,
Iodized dispronlum, neodymium iodide, and cesium iodide were selected in a weight ratio of 4:2:3, and the internal volume was 0.4cc.
It is constructed by enclosing 0.5 .mu.

When a metal halide lamp of the so-called Soyoto ac type constructed in this way is lit horizontally, in a stable arc state, the electric currents ib and b' provided at both ends of the arc tube a are connected as shown in Fig. The center d' of the arc d occurs approximately 0.2 degrees above the connecting pipe axis C. Therefore, if a reflector is provided with the central axis of the reflector aligned with the tube axis C of the arc tube a, for example, if a parabolic reflector is used as a mirror, when irradiating the screen, the lower part will be bright and the upper part will be dark. An asymmetrical screen is formed. When such large illuminance unevenness occurs on the screen, it becomes a big problem in terms of image quality.

This problem can be solved by aligning the central axis of the reflector with the effective center of the floating arc and measuring the light distribution on the screen, as proposed in Utility Model Application No. 63-33501. It was found that there was almost no unevenness in vertical illuminance.Also, even if the arc tube was placed tilted toward the reflector,
If the effective center of the arc is aligned with the central axis of the reflector,
Similarly, it was confirmed that uneven light distribution did not occur.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, the life test of a metal halide lamp configured such that the effective center of the floating arc of the lamp is aligned with the central axis of the reflector was carried out by placing the reflector on the axis of the arc tube. When we conducted this together with a comparative example configured by aligning the center axes of the
The results shown in the figure were obtained. The life test is the second
As shown in the leap, the change in average illuminance at nine points on a 40-inch screen located 2 mJI from the light source was measured (the measurement points are marked e), and the curve A in Figure 1 is Curve B shows the measurement result of the combination of the effective center of the arc of the arc tube and the central axis of the reflector, and curve B shows the measurement result of the combination of the tube axis of the arc tube and the central axis of the reflector.

As can be seen by comparing curves A and B, it is true that the initial average illuminance is better when the central axis of the reflector is aligned with the arc center of the arc tube, but after being turned on for a short time, both of them rapidly decrease. It was found that the average illuminance was almost the same without much difference, and that the screen luminous flux maintenance rate of both was poor.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] In order to solve the above problems, we investigated why the screen luminous flux maintenance rate of metal halide lamps with a conventional configuration with a reflector was poor. The arc moves further upward from its initial position, and as a result, as disclosed in the aforementioned Utility Model Application Publication No. 63-33501, the central axis of the reflector is aligned with the arc center of the arc tube. It has been found that even when placed together, it is only effective for a very early period.

After lighting for a short time, the arc of the arc tube moves further upwards because the arc tube of a metal halide lamp is a quartz tube filled with metal halide, which has a high wall load. Halide reacts with quartz,
It is thought that by generating halogen and narrowing the arc, the bare arc temperature increases relative to the temperature around the arc, and as a result, the center of the arc floats upward.

When a life test was conducted on the metal halide lamp device constructed in this way, the results shown by curve C in FIG. 1 were obtained. In other words, at the initial stage of lighting, the average illuminance is slightly lower than that of the conventional one, but after a very short period of time, it reaches almost the same illuminance level as the conventional one, and after that it gradually decreases, and the average illuminance characteristics are significantly lower than that of the conventional one. It turns out that it has an advantage. Also, the reason why the average illuminance at the beginning of lighting does not decrease much compared to the conventional one is that in the arc tube at the beginning of lighting, the halide has not yet reacted much with quartz, so the width of the arc is thick, and the center of the arc is This is because the distribution of the arc temperature in the radial direction is relatively gentle on the lower side, so the light emission below the arc center is sufficiently larger than the light emission above the arc center.
