Publication number: 20150371841Abstract: In one embodiment, a light source device comprises an arc tube having a first sealing portion extending from a light emission portion. A reflection mirror is attached to neighbor the first sealing portion and has a concave reflection surface. A container accommodates the arc tube and the reflection mirror. A branch portion has a first opening which branches a part of a cooling air flowing within the container to guide the cooling air to the arc tube. First and second duct portions are each connected to the branch portion. The first and second duct portions extend along a center axis of a light reflected by the reflection mirror such that the air flows in a direction opposite to a traveling direction of the light reflected by the reflection surface. A guiding member directs the air toward the first or second duct portion by moving by its own weight.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2015Publication date: December 24, 2015Inventors: Hiroshi Onodera, Takahiro Takizawa
