- the unit time for determining the content rate is 1 second.
- the high pressure discharge lamp lighting device detects the lamp voltage while the lamp is lit, and if the lamp voltage exceeds the reference value V1, the Ib content is reduced to RL , and the lamp voltage falls below the reference value V1. Increases the content of Ib to RH .

- inversion is performed between I (R) and I (Y) and between I (W) and I (B).
- Ic corresponds to 100 Hz in terms of frequency because the number of inversions of the polarity in one rotation of the color wheel is 2. That is, the average frequency per set between the synchronization signals is 100 Hz, and can be used as a low-frequency current waveform set (substitute for Ia).
- FIG. 3D is also a diagram showing an even inversion waveform (a waveform that is asymmetric as a whole).

Abstract
Description
近年、これらの高圧放電灯は、更なる明るさの向上や小型化、長寿命化等様々な特性の改善が要求されている。特に長寿命化は要求が高く、更なる改善が必要とされている。そして、長寿命化のためにはアーク長を寿命期間中に維持することが最も重要な課題となっており、より具体的には高圧放電灯の点灯電圧(以下、「ランプ電圧」という)を一定に維持することが必要とされる。
しかし実際には、高圧放電灯の累積点灯時間が数十時間程度の初期に、ランプ電圧は低下し、その後長期にわたる寿命期間中においてはランプ電圧が暫時上昇することが知られている。
また、寿命期間中においてはランプ個々のばらつき、外気温などの点灯条件のばらつきによってもランプ電圧が上昇や下降といった挙動を見せる。
本実施例では、反射型ミラーデバイスを用いたいわゆるDLPシステムを採用した光源装置と組合せた場合に適した仕様とした。ここで、DLPシステムに使用されるカラーホイールの回転数は100Hzであり、図2に示すように赤(R)、緑(G)、青(B)、白(W)、黄(Y)の5つのセグメントに分割され、それぞれのセグメントの角度は、赤(R)=100deg、緑(G)=100deg、青(B)=100deg、白(W)=30deg、黄(Y)=30degである。なお、ランプ定格電力は170Wである。
例えば、ランプ電圧がV1´(75V)を超えた場合のIbの含有率RLを0%とし、ランプ電圧がV1(65V)未満の場合のIbの含有率RHを100%とする。
例えば、ランプ電圧がV1(65V)未満となった場合に、Ibの含有率を以下のRL→R1→R2→R3→R4→RHと移行し、ランプ電圧がV1´(75V)を超えた場合に、RH→R4→R3→R2→R1→RLと移行するようにしてもよい。
RL:Ib(350Hz)=0%
R1:Ib(350Hz)=20%[5分継続]
R2:Ib(350Hz)=40%[5分継続]
R3:Ib(350Hz)=60%[5分継続]
R4:Ib(350Hz)=80%[5分継続]
RH:Ib(350Hz)=100%
但し、カラーホイールの回転速度は100~180Hz程度(100Hz、120Hz、150Hz、180Hz等)であること、セグメント数が3~6程度であること、必要な高周波側の点灯周波数が200Hz~1kHzであること等を考慮すると、高周波側の電流波形セットにおいては、少なくとも1つのセグメントに対応する期間中に反転を含む波形とする必要がある。
例えば、図4Aに示すような反射鏡付きランプにおいて、正負対称のランプ電流を印加した場合、一対の電極のうちのネック側電極Aが開口側電極Bよりも高温になる。この場合、電極Aの消耗が早くなるので、電極Aが陽極として働く作用を軽減し(電極Bが陰極として働く作用を増大させ)両電極の消耗の均衡を図ることが望ましい。
従って、電極Aから電極Bへ向かう電流を正電流(その逆を負電流)とした場合、ランプ電流波形を全体として非対称として負電流の電流時間積が正電流の電流時間積よりも大きくなるように1セットを構成すれば、偶数回の反転によって常に同一極性波形のランプ電流が印加されることになり、電極A及びBの温度的均衡あるいは消耗度の均衡を図ることができる。なお、電流時間積の替りに電流二乗時間積を用いて考えてもよい。
従って、電極Bから電極Aへ向かう電流を正電流(その逆を負電流)とした場合、ランプ電流波形を図3C又は3Dのように非対称として負電流の電流時間積が正電流の電流時間積よりも大きくなるように1セットを構成すればよい。これにより、偶数回の反転によって常に同一極性波形の電流が印加されることになり、電極A及びBの温度的均衡あるいは消耗度の均衡を図ることができる。
第2の実施例では、含有すべき周波数成分をプロジェクタに使用される映像同期信号と干渉しない周波数成分とする例を示す。第2の実施例に用いたプロジェクタの場合、使用される映像同期信号と同期しない周波数として、50Hz、82Hz、110Hz、165Hz、190Hz及び380Hzがあることが確認された。なお、使用ランプの定格電力は170Wである。
例えば、ランプ電圧がV2´(75V)を超えた場合のf2の含有率RLを30%とし、ランプ電圧がV2(65V)未満の場合のf2の含有率RHを70%とする。
例えば、ランプ電圧がV2(65V)未満となった場合に、f2の含有率を以下のRL→R1→R2→R3→RHと移行し、ランプ電圧がV2´(75V)を超えた場合に、RH→R3→R2→R1→RLと移行するようにしてもよい。
RL:(82Hz=70%/380Hz=30%)
R1:(82Hz=60%/380Hz=40%)[5分継続]
R2:(82Hz=50%/380Hz=50%)[5分継続]
R3:(82Hz=40%/380Hz=60%)[5分継続]
RH:(82Hz=30%/380Hz=70%)
上記により、映像同期信号との干渉を回避するために点灯周波数が限定された場合においても、適切なランプ電圧制御を実現できる。
第3の実施例では、実施例2と同様の趣旨から、含有すべき周波数成分として82Hz(f1)、110Hz(f2)及び380Hz(f3)を選択し、単位時間あたりの所定含有構成比で点灯周波数を構成する。低周波状態としたい場合にはその含有構成比における平均周波数を低くし、高周波状態としたい場合にはその含有構成比における平均周波数を高くすればよい。なお、含有構成比を決める単位時間は1秒である。
CM:(82Hz=40%/110Hz=20%/380Hz=40%)
CL:(82Hz=60%/110Hz=20%/380Hz=20%)
CH:(82Hz=20%/110Hz=20%/380Hz=60%)
その後、ランプ電圧が再び基準値V4より高くなると含有率組合せを再びCHからCMに戻す制御が行われる。ただし、基準値V4についても上記基準値V3と同様にヒステリシスをもたせており、この時の基準値V4´は63Vである。
例えば、CMとCLの間に、
CL1:(82Hz=55%/110Hz=20%/380Hz=25%)
CL2:(82Hz=50%/110Hz=20%/380Hz=30%)
CL3:(82Hz=45%/110Hz=20%/380Hz=35%)
の段階的変化期間を設けてもよいし、CMとCHの間に、
CH1:(82Hz=35%/110Hz=20%/380Hz=45%)
CH2:(82Hz=30%/110Hz=20%/380Hz=50%)
CH3:(82Hz=25%/110Hz=20%/380Hz=55%)
の段階的変化期間を設けてもよい。なお、各段階的変化期間は5分程度であればよい。
上記実施例では、ランプ電圧制御を向上した高圧放電灯点灯装置を示したが、それを用いたアプリケーションとしての光源装置を図5に示す。
図5において、100は上記で説明した図1の高圧放電灯点灯装置、70はランプが取り付けられる反射鏡、110は高圧放電灯点灯装置、ランプを内蔵する筐体である。なお、図は実施例を模擬的に図示したものであり、寸法、配置などは図面通りではない。そして、図示されない映像系の部材等を筐体に適宜配置してプロジェクタが構成される。
また、DLPシステムの場合はカラーホイール(図示せず)を備えるものとする。
(1)本実施例における出力電流としての「矩形波」とは、厳密には完全な矩形波ではないような波形も含む。例えば、完全な矩形波では無く、図5Aのように矩形波半サイクルの開始時の電流値と終了時の電流値とが僅かに異なるような波形や、図5Bのように半サイクルの中盤に僅かな凹凸があるような波形、また図5Cのように点灯時の極性ごとに電流の時間積が異なる波形も含む。さらに、DLPシステムに使用されているカラーホイールのセグメントに同期して電流値を変化させ、極性を変化させる図3A、図3Bのような波形も含む。従って、通常点灯時におけるランプ電流はそのような波形も含む趣旨である。
