1. 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;
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 light emitters is associated with a light collimator that is configured to receive and to concentrate the image light that is output by the associated light emitter.
