A multiple-pixel-beam retinal display (MPBRD) system comprises a near-eye or on-eye display system which delivers any one or more of 2D or 3D images or data to at least one of a user's retinas using a bundle of simultaneously—and differently—statically directed light beams. Each individual beam is of low or no divergence and each angularly fixed beam of the bundle originates from a different corresponding source-image pixel and is delivered through a display-system exit aperture each at static, fixed angles. The bundle of differently statically directed, individually low- or no-divergence pixel beams can be overlaid upon a user's eye-entrance pupil.
