Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain brightness and color characteristics matching the purpose of use without using any complicate means by putting the arc center of a metal halide lamp off the focus of a parabolic reflector. CONSTITUTION:The metal halide lamp 101 is so fixed that its arc center 102 is put off the focus 202 of the parabolic reflector 201. At this time, the quantity of deviation between the arc center 102 of the lamp and the focus 202 of a mirror and the focal length of the mirror are combined well to vary the characteristics of the color of mirror reflected light. For the purpose, the fitting position of the lamp 101 is shifted by a specific quantity from the focus of the mirror 201 to change the color of the mirror reflected light according to the purpose of its use. Consequently, light which has the brightness and color characteristics matching the purpose of use is obtained by the easy method.

[Industrial Application Field 1] The present invention relates to a lighting device used in overhead projectors, liquid crystal color projectors, and the like. [Conventional technology 1] Conventionally, when combining a mirror and a lamp, it has been common to use a lamp at the focal point of the mirror, not just a parabolic mirror. [Problem to be solved by the invention 1 However, the conventional approach imposes many restrictions on the structure of the mirror (aperture, focal length, etc.) and the structure of the lamp (bulb size, overall size, etc.). For this reason, there was a problem that the degree of freedom in designing the lighting device was small, and sometimes the performance of the device had to be sacrificed. The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and its purpose is to provide a lighting device that has brightness and color characteristics suitable for the purpose of use, without using complicated means. be.

A first lighting device of the present invention is a lighting device comprising a parabolic mirror and a metal halide lamp, and is characterized in that the arc center of the metal halide lamp is fixed so as to be deviated from the focus of the parabolic reflector. A second lighting device of the present invention is characterized in that approximately half of the bulb surface of the metal halide lamp is rough. A third lighting device of the present invention is characterized in that at least a part of the anti-light slope of the parabolic mirror is a rough surface. [Example 1] Hereinafter, an example of the lighting device of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. Figure 1 shows the basic structure of the lighting device of the present invention. Figure 1 (8) shows the arc center 1 of a 10L metal halide lamp.
02 is attached to the parabolic mirror 201 by shifting it outward from the focal point 202. On the other hand, FIG. 1(b) shows
This is a case where the arc center 102 is installed inside the focal point 202. The amount of deviation between the arc center 102 of the lamp and the focal point 202 of the mirror is preferably about 1 mm to 10 mm. By appropriately combining the amount of shift and the focal length of the mirror, the color characteristics of the mirror-reflected light (light emitted from the illumination device) can be changed dramatically. An example is shown in Figure 4. FIG. 4(a) shows the spectral intensity distribution of mirror reflected light when the focal length of the mirror is 9 mm and the arc center is shifted outward by 4 mm from the focal point. On the other hand, FIG. 4(b) shows the focal point j of the mirror
! ! ! The distance is 13mm, and the arc center is 3m from the focal point.
This is the spectral intensity distribution of the mirror reflected light when shifted inward by m. In Fig. 4(a), the blue light component is strong;
In b), the red light component is strong. Approximately 1 in color temperature
You get a difference of 200K. This means that by shifting the mounting position of the lamp by a predetermined amount from the focal point of the mirror, the color of the light reflected by the mirror can be changed depending on the purpose of use. This is a great advantage when considering the use of the lighting device of the present invention in a liquid crystal color projector. This is because, due to the configuration of the optical system of the liquid crystal projector, the requirements for the colored light of the lamp are, for example,
It differs by having more red components and more blue components. Traditionally, these demands have been met by changing the type of lamp. For this reason, performance tests had to be repeated for each different type of lamp, requiring a large amount of development man-hours. According to the lighting device of the present invention, as mentioned earlier, the color of the light can be changed simply by adjusting the mounting position of the lamp relative to the mirror. Therefore, it is possible to meet various requirements regarding the colored light of the lamp extremely easily. Figure 2 shows the structure of the lighting device of the present invention in which approximately half of the bulb surface of the lamp is made rough. 'IJ!
FIG. 2(a) shows a structure in which the hemisphere surface on the far side from the apex 303 of the mirror is made into a rough surface 301 almost symmetrically with respect to the optical axis 302. By doing this, for example, it is possible to prevent the deterioration in brightness uniformity that would be expected if the arc center of the lamp was shifted outward with respect to the focal point of the mirror.
On the other hand, FIG. 2(b) shows a structure in which the rough surface 301 is a hemispherical surface below the optical axis 302. By doing this, it is possible to eliminate uneven brightness and color caused by asymmetric distribution of arcs during horizontal lighting. FIG. 3 shows the structure of the illumination device of the present invention in which a portion of the mirror's anti-light slope is made rough. Figure 3(a)
is a structure in which a rough surface 401 is formed around the optical axis 302 at a portion near the apex 303 of the mirror. On the other hand,
In FIG. 3(b), the optical axis 3 is a portion near the mouth 304 of the mirror.
This is the structure when the rough surface 401 is made all around 02. In this way, by making at least a portion of the mirror a rough surface, it is possible to eliminate uneven brightness and uneven color at a predetermined position. In addition, by combining the structure described earlier with half of the tube surface roughened,
Further effects can be expected. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the lighting device of the present invention, by using only one type of lamp, light having brightness and color characteristics suitable for the purpose of use can be produced by extremely simple means. can be realized. This eliminates the need to repeat performance evaluations and environmental tests with different types of lamps every time the requirements for the equipment change, which contributes to shortening product development time and reducing development costs. It can be said that the effect is extremely large. 102 ・ 20 1 ・ 2 0 2 ・ 301 ・ 3 02 ・ 303 ・ 304 ・ 4 0 1 ・ ・Arc center/parabolic mirror.
