Abstract: Techniques of providing illumination to a head-mounted display (HMD) involve providing off-board illumination apart from the HMD. An off-board illumination unit delivers the illumination to the HMD via optical fibers. The optical fibers are lightweight and do not restrict motion of a user. Because the power source is less restricted, the off-board illumination unit provides flexibility in the hardware used to generate the illumination. For example, the illumination unit may use red, green, and blue narrow-band diode lasers. Further, by controlling modes in the fiber and providing additional light-guiding hardware, the angles at which light strikes LCD pixels may be largely restricted to certain specified angles. Restricted angles of incidence enable the use of fast-switching liquid crystals without degrading the image quality. Such a restriction allows for high-resolution imaging using rapid switching of the liquid crystal which enables very low latencies.

In this way, both the light source disposed at the upper end of the flame holder and the flame cover can perform swing motion along with the flame holder, to simulate flickering effect of real burning flames. In such case, a stable swing motion can be realized, and it is easy to control.
