Abstract

A quantum dot-containing composition includes a quantum dot, a ligand having coordinating groups, which coordinates to the surface of the quantum dots, and the ligand is represented by Formula I.In Formula I, A is an organic group including one or more coordinating groups selected from an amino group, a carboxy group, a mercapto group, a phosphine group, and a phosphine oxide group, Z is an (n+m+l)-valent organic linking group, R is a group including an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, or an alkynyl group each of which may have a substituent, Y is a group having a polymer chain which has a degree of polymerization of 3 or greater and which includes a polyacrylate skeleton or the like. n and m are each independently 1 or greater, l is 0 or greater, and n+m+l is integer 3 or greater. At least two coordinating groups are included in a molecule.
