Virtual and augmented reality display systems with emissive micro-displays

A head-mounted display system comprising:

• an emissive micro-display comprising an array of light emitters corresponding to pixels, wherein the array of light emitters is configured to output image light that defines images, wherein the array of light emitters includes a plurality of groups of the light emitters, and wherein each group of the light emitters includes respective first and second light emitters;
• an eyepiece configured to receive the image light from the emissive micro-display and to direct the image light to an eye of a user;
• and
• an array of light collimators proximate the array of light emitters, wherein each of the groups of light emitters is associated with a single light collimator of the array of light collimators that is configured to receive and to concentrate the image light that is output by the associated group of light emitters, wherein a first light collimator of the array of light collimators is associated with a first group of the light emitters, wherein a second light collimator of the array of light collimators is associated with a second group of the light emitters, and wherein the first and second light collimators are arranged such that:
• the image light that is output by the first light emitter of the first group and the first light emitter of the second group is directed to a same first output area, and
• the image light that is output by the second light emitter of the first group and the second light emitter of the second group is directed to a same second light output area that is offset from the first output area.
