PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure for suppressing decrease of illuminance on a screen which is considered to be a cause of wear in anode at an early stage of the life span, in a high-pressure discharge lamp lighting apparatus of direct current lighting type actively utilizing a cathode bright point. SOLUTION: A high-pressure discharge lamp lighting apparatus has a high-pressure discharge lamp 1, in which mercury of 0.16 mg/mm<SP>3</SP>or higher, rare gas, and halogen of the range of 1×10<SP>-6</SP>to 1×10<SP>-2</SP>μmol/mm<SP>3</SP>are filled into an arc tube 10, and a power supply apparatus Ex for supplying direct current to the discharge lamp to light it. The power supply apparatus Ex makes an alternating component superimposed on the direct current and supplies the superimposed current to the discharge lamp. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
