1. An image source for a head-worn display, comprising: a digital light processing (DLP) display positioned to reflect on-pixel light in-line with transfer optics adapted to present the on-pixel light to an eye of a user as image light, the DLP display further positioned to reflect off-pixel light in-line with a dark light trap; anda camera positioned to capture eye-image light originating as a reflection from the eye of the user, wherein, prior to being captured by the camera, the eye-image light reflects off of a plurality of mirrors of the DLP display and then off of a reflective surface positioned to reflect the eye-image light towards the camera. 2. The image source of claim 1, wherein the eye-image light is reflected off of off-pixel mirrors of the DLP display. 3. The image source of claim 1, wherein the eye-image light is reflected off of no-power-pixel mirrors of the DLP display. 4. The image source of claim 1, wherein the reflective surface is a partially reflective and partially transmissive surface. 5. The image source of claim 4, wherein the reflection and transmission properties are polarization dependent. 6. The image source of claim 1, wherein the eye-image light is captured by the camera simultaneously with image light being transferred to the eye of the user. 7. The image source of claim 1, wherein a subset of mirrors of the DLP display are dedicated to reflect eye-image light.
