A polymerizable composition provides a high brightness and suppressed decrease in brightness in an outer peripheral region when used in a wavelength conversion member, a wavelength conversion member, a backlight unit, and a liquid crystal display device. The polymerizable composition includes quantum dots having surfaces coordinated with a ligand, a polymerizable compound, and a dispersant, in which the ligand is a molecule that includes a saturated hydrocarbon chain having 6 or more carbon atoms and a coordinating group, a Log P value of the polymerizable compound is 3.0 or lower, the dispersant has a nonpolar and a polar portion in a molecule, and the nonpolar portion is at least one selected from the group consisting of a saturated hydrocarbon chain having 6 or more carbon atoms, an aromatic ring, and a saturated aliphatic ring. The wavelength conversion member, the backlight unit, and the liquid crystal display device include the polymerizable composition.

A backlight unit including: a light source; and a photoconversion layer disposed separately from the light source to convert a wavelength of incident light from the light source and thereby provide converted light, wherein the photoconversion layer includes a polymer matrix and a plurality of anisotropic semiconductor nanocrystals disposed in the polymer matrix, and wherein the polymer matrix includes a polymer having a repeating unit represented by Chemical Formula 1:

##STR00001## wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen or a methyl group, each R.sup.2 is independently hydrogen or a C1 to C3 alkyl group, and R.sup.3 is a C2 to C5 alkyl group, wherein the polymer exhibits elasticity at a temperature between a glass transition temperature of the polymer and about 100° C., and wherein the plurality of anisotropic semiconductor nanocrystals are aligned along a long axis thereof for the photoconversion layer to emit polarized light.

To allow short time spreading for adhesive, verifying whether the adhesive is spread out to a member end. In obtaining a bonded member by applying the adhesive to a surface of one of two members and bonding the members with a member bonding device, a tilt adjusting device acquires with a camera an image of spreading state of the adhesive in the members' bonding surface, and adjusts the tilt of the bonded member when a non-spreading part of the adhesive between ends of the bonded member and the adhesive has a size bias so that the adhesive moves to the larger side of the part, and a spreading adjustment device controls a pushing amount and a pushing time interval of a pressing-side member to adjust spreading of the adhesive so that the part size reduces to a predetermined size depending on the part size acquired with the camera, and cures the adhesive in the bonded member edge with the non-spreading part eliminated.

A laminating machine and process for applying an optically clear adhesive film to a glass substrate includes a porous belt assembly with a plurality of vacuum pumps. The vacuum pumps define different, separately adjustable vacuum zones on the surface of the porous belt. The porous belt is driven linearly so that an optically clear adhesive does not move relative to the porous belt, but does move relative to the table, allowing the adhesive to be controlled to a compressive, neutral, or tensile state while being nip-rolled to the substrate. Since there is no motion of the film relative to the belt, scratching, stretch elongation, dimensional errors, and other slip induced damage is eliminated.

A flexible display motherboard is disclosed. The motherboard includes a first group of flexible display units, where the first group includes at least one flexible display unit. The motherboard also includes a second group of flexible display units, where the second group includes at least one flexible display unit. The motherboard also includes one or more first grooves between the first and second groups.

A method for manufacturing a display device includes the steps of: placing a panel having a first portion and a second portion on a deformable pad having a core member and placing a cover window on the panel; and moving the core member disposed inside the pad from the first portion to the second portion of the panel and pressing the panel to bond the cover window to the panel.
