Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a high-pressure mercury lamp and a sealing material for a high-pressure mercury lamp. Background technique
[0002] High-pressure mercury lamps that use quartz luminous tubes and seal high-pressure mercury in the luminous tubes are used in OHP (overhead projectors), liquid crystal projectors, and automotive headlights. Since the luminous tube made of quartz is transparent, the luminescent part formed by the arc in the discharge tube can be directly used as a point light source of the discharge lamp.
[0003] In the high-pressure mercury lamp described in JP-A-55-117859, a metal foil is fixed to the end of a quartz arc tube, and the end of the arc tube is clamped and sealed. As the metal foil, a molybdenum foil surface is coated with a metal such as tantalum, niobium, chromium, or yttrium. In this sealing method, molybdenum foil is clamped on the end of the arc tube, and the end is heated to soften it. In this state, the moly...
