PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an external electrode discharge lamp without thermal distortion of ends of a glass vessel covered with an external electrode. SOLUTION: The discharge lamp comprises a tubular glass vessel 2 with a phosphor layer 5 on its inner wall 4, enclosing gas including at least mercury in the inside space 6, and external electrodes 3 formed on both ends in the longer direction of the glass vessel to cover the outer surfaces and end surfaces of the both ends. The both ends of the glass tube 2 are air-proofed without any sealing components. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
