The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a quantum dot light-emitting element and a display device. The method comprises mixing a quantum dot light-emitting material and a hole-transporting material or mixing the quantum dot light-emitting material and an electron-transporting material, and dissolving a mixture into an organic solvent to form a mixed solvent, applying the mixed solvent to a substrate for manufacturing a quantum dot light-emitting element, removing the organic solvent form the mixed solvent to stratify the quantum dot light-emitting material and the hole-transporting material or the electron-transporting material on the substrate for manufacturing a quantum dot light-emitting element to form a quantum dot light-emitting layer and a hole-transporting layer or an electron-transporting layer.
