wherein the first quantum dots and the second quantum dots do not include lead, and
the first quantum dots and the second quantum dots comprise a halide on at least a portion of the surface of the quantum dots,
wherein an amount of the halide in the quantum dot emission film is greater than or equal to about 0.01 parts per million and less than or equal to about 0.5 parts per million based on a light emitting surface of 1 square centimeter as determined by ion chromatograph.

2. The emission film of claim 1 , wherein the emission film does not comprise cadmium.

3. The emission film of claim 1 , wherein the first quantum dots and the second quantum dots do not include an organic thiol compound on the surfaces of the quantum dots.

4. The emission film of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second quantum dots comprise zinc, and wherein a ratio of zinc peak intensity relative to a halide peak intensity in the emission film is greater than or equal to about 3%, as determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

5. The emission film of claim 1 , wherein the first quantum dots and the second quantum dots emit identical color light to each other.

6. The emission film of claim 1 , wherein the first quantum dots and the second quantum dots emit different color light from each other.

7. The emission film of claim 1 , wherein the first quantum dots and the second quantum dots comprise a core, and a shell disposed on the core.

8. The emission film of claim 7 , wherein the core comprises a first semiconductor nanocrystal, and the shell comprises a second semiconductor nanocrystal having a different composition than the first semiconductor nanocrystal, and
the first semiconductor nanocrystal and the second semiconductor nanocrystal independently comprise a Group II-VI compound, a Group III-V compound, a Group IV-VI compound, a Group IV element or compound, a Group I-III-VI compound, a Group I-II-IV-VI compound, or a combination thereof.

9. The emission film of claim 8 , wherein the first semiconductor nanocrystal comprises InP, InZnP, ZnSe, ZnSeTe, or a combination thereof.

10. The emission film of claim 7 , wherein an outermost layer of the shell comprises zinc and sulfur.

11.
