Abstract

A description is given of a method and a circuit arrangement for operating a high-pressure gas discharge lamp with a lamp current superposed with first current pulses, in particular in a system for the time-sequential production of (primary) colors and possibly white segments, from which an image to be displayed is synthesized, in which, in order to change or correct color and/or brightness properties of the image, the first current pulses are adjusted with regard to their amplitude and/or temporal length and/or temporal position relative to the production of the colors and/or white segments. A description is also given of a projection system comprising such a circuit arrangement.
