Abstract

PURPOSE:To find out ceramic material suitable for a light emitting tube of discharge lamp, which is excellent in transparency, heat conductivity, and heat resistance and can be molded and sintered as a light emitting tube relatively simply. CONSTITUTION:It becomes possible to change the light emitting tube, which can bear enough the radiant heat of light emission adequately and the center portion of which bulges, into a cylindrical light emitting tube by making a light emitting tube for discharge lamp out of yttrium-aluminum-garnet polycrystalline ceramics (YAG), so the manufacture by the powder metallurgical method becomes possible, and it reduces the cost.

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 shows an example of the structure of a conventional arc tube for a discharge lamp. The conventional discharge lamp 20 has a discharge lamp 2 in which xenon is filled between both electrodes 21 and 22, and the central part of the arc tube 2 is swollen into a large spherical shape because it is necessary to maintain a sufficient distance from the vicinity of the electrode where the temperature rises the most.
It has a sealed structure by 3. As described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-102062, for example, transparent polycrystalline alumina is used as the arc tube 23 for high-pressure sodium lamps, and quartz is used as the arc tube for metal halide lamps. Mainly used.
