Abstract High‐resolution (HR) displays are in much demand as metaverse makes near‐eye displays the most important equipment in recent years. Based on wave optics, a microscale optical crosstalk model for HR display devices is proposed. It is indicated that the pixel pattern will be distorted over long‐distance transmission in light‐emitting devices with inner periodic microstructure, and the optical distortion is related to the size of pixels and the distance from the emitting layer to the outlet. A bottom emissive HR red quantum dot light‐emitting diode (QLED) array is introduced to confirm the model and a top emission scheme is provided to effectively reduce the transmission distance and suppress the pixel distortion. Optical‐crosstalk‐free pixels are finally achieved by adopting the optimized top‐emission cathode thickness of 30 nm. This study provides a direction for realizing high‐quality and high‐resolution micro‐displays.
