Title:
DISCHARGE LAMP OPERATION DEVICE AND ILLUMINATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/029655
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In order to improve stability of a discharge lamp during a light-adjusted ON period even if the light output is lowered, a DC superposition circuit (1) superposes DC voltage on AC voltage applied to a fluorescent lamp (FL). A light adjusting signal correction circuit (K1) inputs a detection value of a DC voltage detection circuit (2) and a light adjusting signal (Vsl) from outside. If the detection value of the DC voltage detection circuit (2) is higher than a first threshold value (Vth1), a light adjusting signal (Vs0) of a level higher than a light adjusting signal (Vs1) is outputted. If the detection value of the DC voltage detection circuit (2) is lower than a second threshold value (Vth2) which is not greater than the first threshold value (Vth1), the level of the light adjusting signal to be outputted (Vs0) is reduced to the level of the inputted light adjusting signal (Vs1). According to increase/decrease of the level of the light adjusting signal (Vs0) outputted from the light adjusting signal correction circuit (K1), an inverter circuit (INV) increase/decreases the AC power supplied to the fluorescent lamp (FL) so as to adjust the fluorescent lamp (FL).
