Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor includes an anode body, a dielectric layer that covers the anode body, a first solid electrolyte layer that covers the dielectric layer, and a second solid electrolyte layer that covers the first solid electrolyte layer. The first solid electrolyte layer contains a first conductive polymer that includes polypyrrole as a basic skeleton. The second solid electrolyte layer contains a second conductive polymer that includes polythiophene as a basic skeleton. The second solid electrolyte layer has a thickness of 1 ?m or more.

Abstract: The discharge lamp lighting device according to the present invention is provided with a high-voltage generating transformer which comprises a core, a secondary winding part disposed in a plurality of sections on the outside of the core, and a primary winding part disposed on the outside of the secondary winding part and in which a high-voltage side terminal of said secondary winding part is connected to a terminal of the core and a low-voltage side terminal of the secondary winding part is connected to a terminal of the primary winding part.
