A method for manufacturing a quantum dot includes a method of manufacturing a quantum dot including heating a first mixture including a Group II precursor and a Group III precursor, adding an organic solvent to the first mixture and cooling the resultant under an inert gas atmosphere, adding a Group V precursor solution to the cooled resultant including the first mixture and the organic solvent to prepare a second mixture and heating the second mixture, and adding a mixture of a Group V precursor and a Group VI precursor to the second mixture to prepare a third mixture and allowing third mixture to react.
