A discharge lamp driving apparatus comprises a DC power supply, a control circuit, switching elements, a step-up transformer, and a lamp current controlling circuit. In the discharge lamp driving apparatus, the secondary side of the step-up transformer is connected to multiple discharge lamps respectively via variable inductance elements, a series resonant circuit is constituted by a capacitor provided between the variable inductance element and the discharge lamp, leakage inductance of the step-up transformer, and inductance of the variable inductance element, and an output of the lamp current controlling circuit is connected to the variable inductance element, wherein the inductance of the variable inductance element is varied thereby controlling the lamp current of the discharge lamp. <IMAGE> |
