Abstract (en)
A ceramic envelope for high intensity discharge lamp comprises a cylindrical barrel section 1 that forms an electric discharge light emitting space, an annular closing section 2, that closes both ends of the barrel section 1. Capillary sections 3 receive electric discharge electrodes to be outwardly protruded so as to be opposed to each other from the substantial center position of both closing sections. The envelope is made of an alumina-based material and is formed so as to have light transmitting properties. At an interior face of a barrel section at a boundary part 4 between the closing section 2 and an electric discharge light emitting space corner of the barrel section 1, a rounded interior corner 1.0 mm in curvature diameter is provided so that the thickness is gradually changed. In this manner, a ceramic envelope capable of extended service life is provided even if the electric discharge light emitting space is cylindrical. <IMAGE>
