    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for displays, such as for a head wearable device. An example display can include an infrared illumination layer, the infrared illumination layer including a waveguide having a first face and a second face, the first face disposed opposite the second face. The illumination layer may also include an in-coupling grating disposed on the first face, the in-coupling grating configured to couple light into the waveguide to generate internally reflected light propagating in a first direction. The illumination layer may also include a plurality of out-coupling gratings disposed on at least one of the first face and the second face, the plurality of out-coupling gratings configured to receive the internally reflected light and couple the internally reflected light out of the waveguide.
