Abstract
A discharge lamp which eliminates the large line noise that forms in discharge lamps during startup while preventing heat loss in the transformer by providing a pair of opposed electrodes for the main discharge and an auxiliary electrode arranged such that it does not come into contact with the discharge space for the main discharge, a feed circuit for supplying the discharge current to the electrodes for the main discharge, and a starter circuit which produces a high voltage between one of the electrodes for the main discharge and the auxiliary electrode. The high voltage generating part of the starter circuit which includes at least a high voltage transformer that is separated from the feed circuit while the discharge lamp and the high voltage generating part are formed as an integral unit.
