<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure in an excimer lamp having external electrodes, at least one side of which is light permeable, disposed on the outer surface of a discharge container and also having a starting aid electrode disposed on the inner surface of the discharge container, which structure prevents a normal discharge between the external electrodes from being affected by a surface discharge generated from the starting aid electrode to the external electrodes. <P>SOLUTION: The external electrodes come with a branch-like electrode consisting of a root part extending from an end in the axial direction thereof along the tube axis direction of the discharge container and a branch part extending from a tip of the root part along the width direction of the discharge container, and the starting aid electrode is disposed so as to overlap with a tip of the branch part of the branch-like electrode of at least one side of the external electrodes. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
