Publication number: 20060273728Abstract: A high-pressure gas discharge (HID, high intensity discharge) lamp is described, having a discharge vessel (1) that contains a metal that is applied at least to parts of those regions of the feedthroughs and/or walls of the discharge vessel (1) at which condensation of ingredients of the gas filling may occur as a result of a temperature sink that occurs when the lamp is in a state of operation. In this way, it is possible to at least largely prevent not only chemical interactions between ingredients of the gas filling (particularly the metal halides) and the relevant regions of the feedthroughs or walls at which, due to the lower temperature of these regions, the ingredients condense, but also losses of ingredients of this kind from the gas filling. This in turn means that there is no risk of any damage to the lamp or of any degradation of its lumen maintenance.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2004Publication date: December 7, 2006Applicant: Koninklijke Philips Electrnics N.V.Inventors: Matthias Born, Ulrich Niemann

Patent number: 6861807Abstract: The invention relates to a high-pressure gas discharge lamp, particularly a motorcar lamp, comprising a bulb including at least two neck portions and a vacuum-tight discharge vessel of quartz glass, at least two electrodes projecting into the discharge vessel, and a filling in the discharge vessel which, in the operating state, is in a discharge state. Such lamps are used, in particular, in headlights of motorcars. In order to ensure that the arc of the high-pressure gas discharge lamp generates a higher luminescence in a small area, and the lamp can be used as a light source in motorcar headlights, the discharge vessel of the high-pressure gas discharge lamp in accordance with the invention encloses a discharge space having a width B below 4 mm and a length C below 8 mm, and the filling comprises NaI, ScI3, Xe, ZnI3 and is free of Hg. Surprisingly it has been found that the use ZnI2 in the filling causes the arc to generate a higher luminescence in the area of the arc axis per dimension of the arc.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2002Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Matthias Born, Rüdiger Jost
