Abstract: In a discharge lamp device, the arc tube body is configured by welding and integrating shroud glass with an arc tube so as to enclose a discharging portion, and a rearward elongating portion of the arc tube that elongates in the rear of the shroud glass is inserted and held into an opening of an insulating plug which is made of synthetic resin. A UV blocking film is formed on the outer surface of the rearward elongating portion of the arc tube. UV components of leakage light from the rearward elongating portion are cut off, and the amount of ultraviolet rays to which the resin layer in the opening is exposed is reduced. The UV blocking film is in the opening, and hence cannot be seen through a front lens.

Abstract: A method for producing a light source bulb wherein a shielding film is formed on the outer peripheral face of a glass tube extending along a reference bulb axis, such that a coating for providing the shieiding film can be applied efficiently and precisely onto the outer peripheral face of the glass tube even though the shielding film is complicated in configuration. The method includes horizontally placing a light source bulb, vertically placing a coating discharging portion, moving a front edge face of the coating discharging portion close to the outer peripheral face of the shroud tube, and applying the coating by moving the coating discharging portion and the light source bulb relative to each other along a reference bulb axis and rotating the light source bulb upon the reference bulb axis while the coating is being discharged from the coating discharging portion.
