Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as a promising material system for electronic and optoelectronic applications. In this talk, I will present our recent advancements in improving material quality as well as developing light-emitting devices of the monolayer chalcogenides. We developed a defect passivation technique that enables the monolayer MoS2 to achieve near-unity quantum yield. The work presents the first demonstration of an optoelectronically perfect monolayer. Moving forward to the device development, forming electron and hole selected contacts is a necessary step for a light-emitting device but is challenging for 2D monolayers. We circumvent this challenge via a new device design that allows for high-level injection of electrons and holes without the requirement of ohmic contacts. We are able to show the first millimeter-scale light emission in 2D materials and fabricate transparent digital display using this new device design. Additionally, I will discuss the challenges of the materials system and possible solutions towards high efficient monolayer light-emitting devices.
