Abstract

A discharge lamp drive device includes a discharge lamp driver adapted to supply a drive current to a discharge lamp having a first electrode and a second electrode, a control section adapted to control the discharge lamp driver, and a storage section adapted to store a plurality of drive patterns of the drive current. Each of the plurality of drive patterns has a plurality of drive parameters. The control section executes at least three of the drive patterns in a case in which drive power to be supplied to the discharge lamp is in a predetermined power band, and in a case in which an inter-electrode voltage of the discharge lamp is a predetermined voltage value. Any two of the at least three drive patterns are different from each other in a value of at least one of the plurality of drive parameters.
