Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in conventional metal halide lamps in which cerium iodide and sodium iodide are sealed as luminescent substances, there is a problem that the light beam maintenance rate decreases significantly with the lapse of the lighting time, and there is also a problem that the color temperature of the lamp changes greatly.

Embodiment 1

[0032] Preparation of CeI 3 : 2.4mg (40.0wt%), NaI: 3.15mg (52.5wt%), TlI: 0.27mg (4.5wt%), InI: 0.18mg (3.0wt%) as the lamp 18 sealed as the luminescent substance 17, and its Initial characteristics and beam maintenance in relation to aging.

[0033] As a result, it was observed that basically the encapsulation of TlI and InI broadened the discharge arc and also suppressed the bending of the discharge arc to the upper side of the arc tube and the side of the arc tube. Furthermore, the lamp 18 of this embodiment has an improved luminous flux maintenance rate related to aging, and can achieve a rated life time of 12,000 hours with a luminous flux maintenance rate of 60% or more. Basically, it can be said that the average excitation voltage Ve of thallium Tl and indium In is higher than the ionization voltage Vi (Ve>0.585Vi), so that such a discharge arc broadening effect is obtained.

[0034] Furthermore, it was confirmed that the encapsulation of thallium iodide TlI, which e...

Embodiment 2

[0036]As in Example 1, as the luminescent substance 17, CeI 3 : 2.5mg and NaI: 3.0mg, and sealed relative to the total amount of metal halides, TlI and InI whose composition was changed in the range of 0-15wt%, respectively, to prepare lamp 18, and measure its initial characteristics and aging correlation beam maintenance rate.

[0037] As a result, it was observed that the discharge arc was broadened basically accompanying the encapsulation of TlI and InI, and the bending of the discharge arc toward the tube wall was also suppressed. Moreover, the aging-related beam maintenance rate of the lamp 18 of the present embodiment is improved. If the encapsulation of TlI and InI is within the range of 1.0≤TlIwt%≤7.0, and in the range of 0.6≤TlIwt% / InIwt%≤4.0, it can be achieved The rated life time is 12,000 hours with the beam maintenance rate above 60%. The result is shown in image 3 In the Ce / Na / Tl / In graph. This can be said to be basically because the average excitation volta...

Abstract

A metal halide lamp has an arc tube including an envelope as an arc tube container made of an oxide-based translucent ceramic material, and the arc tube is filled with luminescent materials comprising at least a cerium halide, a sodium halide, a thallium halide and an indium halide. An amount of the cerium halide is in a range from 20 wt % to 69.0 wt %, an amount of the sodium halide is in a range from 30 wt % to 79.0 wt %, and a total amount of the thallium halide and the indium halide is in a range from 1.0 wt % to 20 wt % with respect to the entire metal halides. Accordingly, the arc discharge is spread, bending of the arc discharge toward the arc tube wall is suppressed, and thus, the metal halide lamp has improved luminescent efficiency, where lowering of the flux maintenance factor is suppressed even after a long-time use, and hues of the luminescent colors are corrected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a luminescent tube of a metal halide lamp. Background technique [0002] Recently, metal halide lamps using ceramic luminous tubes have higher efficiency, higher color rendering, and longer life than metal halide lamps using quartz luminous tubes, so they are mainly used as indoor lighting in shops and the like. universal. [0003] Figure 5 , Figure 6 They are the structures of conventional metal halide lamps using ceramic luminous tubes. As the structure of the arc tube 28, the arc tube container 29 is composed of a discharge arc tube portion 30 made of a polycrystalline alumina ceramic material and a pair of thin tube portions 31, 32 sintered at both ends thereof. A pair of tungsten coil electrodes 33 and 34 are provided at both ends of the arc tube 28 . In addition, power supply bodies 35, 36 made of niobium or conductive cermets are hermetically sealed in the light-emitting tube thin tube parts 31, 32 through glass fr...
