Problems solved by technology

As a result, at the time of next lighting, since the position of the glow discharge is not determined by the output of the normal flip-flop circuit, the electrode temperature rises slowly, and the mercury cannot be vaporized, resulting in poor lighting.
In addition, in the high-pressure discharge lamp of the system in which the output of the flip-flop circuit is supplied to only one electrode, there is a problem that the insulation resistance around the one electrode must be increased.

Embodiment approach 1

[0023] figure 1 It is a circuit diagram of the ballast according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The ballast is composed of a rectifier circuit 2 for rectifying the AC power source 1, an inverter 3, a trigger transformer 4, a trigger transformer drive circuit 5, and a control unit 6. The output terminal of the trigger transformer 4 is connected to a high-pressure discharge lamp 7 . The rectifier circuit 2 is composed of an inductor L1, a switching element S1, and a diode D. As shown in FIG. The inverter 3 is composed of four switching elements S2-S5 that are fully bridged. The switching elements S2, S5 and S4, S3, through alternate conduction control, convert the DC voltage from the rectifier circuit 2 into an AC voltage, and output it to Trigger Transformer4. The trigger transformer 4 outputs a high voltage to the high pressure discharge lamp 7 as will be described later. The high-pressure discharge lamp 7 is a reflective light source device, and the luminous tu...

Abstract

The present invention provides a ballast capable of eliminating lighting failures and reducing insulation resistance, and a projector equipped with the ballast. The ballast has a trigger transformer (4), and a trigger transformer drive circuit (5) that supplies an excitation current to the primary coil of the trigger transformer (4) at the start of lighting, and the trigger transformer (4) supplies the high-pressure discharge lamp The electrode (73) (base end electrode) and electrode (75) (front end electrode) of (7) apply the opposite voltage of polarity, and, make the absolute value of the voltage applied on the electrode (75) be greater than that applied to the electrode (73) ) the absolute value of the voltage on.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a ballast for lighting a high-pressure discharge lamp such as a high-pressure mercury lamp or a metal halide lamp, and a projector incorporating the ballast. Background technique [0002] There is a trigger circuit in the ballast of the prior art. When lighting, generally the output of the left-right symmetrical trigger circuit is applied to the two electrodes of the high-pressure discharge lamp, or the output of the trigger circuit is applied to the high voltage A high-pressure discharge lamp is turned on on one electrode of the discharge lamp (for example, refer to Patent Documents 1 and 2). [0003] [Patent Document 1] JP-A-2003-316440 [0004] [Patent Document 2] JP-A-2003-151786 [0005] However, due to the structure of the high-pressure discharge lamp, when the lamp is turned off after lighting, the cooling of the left and right electrodes becomes unbalanced. This cooling imbalance causes more of the enclosed m...
