Micro light-emitting diode displays having nanophosphors, and methods of fabricating micro light-emitting diode displays having nanophosphors, are described. In an example, a pixel structure includes a substrate having a plurality of conductive interconnect structures in a first dielectric layer thereon. A plurality of micro light emitting diode devices is in a second dielectric layer above the first dielectric layer, including a first blue micro light emitting diode device, a second blue micro light emitting diode device, and a green micro light emitting diode device. A transparent conducting oxide layer is disposed on the plurality of micro light emitting diode devices and on the second dielectric layer. A phosphor layer is on the transparent conducting oxide layer at a location vertically aligned with the first blue micro light emitting diode device but not at a location vertically aligned with the second blue micro light emitting diode device.
