Abstract

A light source device houses a lamp such as a mercury discharge tube for generating a high temperature heat, and a reflective optical member such as an elliptic, mirror surrounding the lamp, in a lamp case. When the lamp is forcibly cooled by air, a device for substantially uniformly heating or heat-insulating a reflection surface of the reflective optical member is provided to prevent overcooling of the reflective optical member.
