In this rare gas discharge lamp, a xenon gas discharge is generated by applying a high frequency high voltage (eg, 2500 Vp-p at 25 KHz) to the external electrodes C and D, and an emission line (147 nm) of the xenon gas causes a light emitting layer. B is excited to emit light, and the light is emitted from the opening P between the ends Ca and Da of the external electrodes C and D. In particular, since mercury is not used in this rare gas discharge lamp, the rise of the light amount after lighting is steep, and the light amount reaches almost 100% almost at the time of lighting. For this reason, it has recently been spotlighted as a document reading light source for facsimiles and the like.

Since the adhesive layer is formed on one surface of the light-transmitting sheet in the sheet structure, if the envelope is rolled on the sheet structure, The sheet structure can be wound and brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the envelope by a simple operation. Therefore, the work efficiency can be dramatically improved.

Moreover, since the work content is a simple operation such as mere rolling of the envelope, mechanization is possible and further mass production effect can be expected.

Since the external electrodes are arranged so as to be located between the translucent sheet and the outer peripheral surface of the envelope when the sheet structure is attached to the envelope 1. In addition, even when applied to an OA device such as a facsimile machine and a high voltage is applied during use, not only the external electrodes but also the ground insulation can be sufficiently secured.

Further, if the terminals are integrally formed at the end portions of the external electrodes, it is not necessary to solder the copper terminals to the external electrodes as in the conventional case, and the terminals for the harness for external lead-out can be provided. Connection work can be simplified.
