Transition
metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) represent a novel and
sustainable material basis for ultrathin optoelectronic devices. Although
various approaches toward light-emitting devices, e.g., based on exfoliated
or chemical vapor deposited (CVD) TMDC monolayers, have been reported,
they all suffer from limited scalability and reproducibility required
for industrial fabrication. Here, we demonstrate a light-emitting
device in a scalable approach by embedding metal−organic (MO-)CVD
WS2 monolayers into a vertical p–i–n device
architecture using organic and inorganic injection layers. Red electroluminescence
is emitted from an active area of 6 mm2 starting already
at a driving voltage of about 2.5 V.
