Abstract: A display apparatus having a wide range of threshold voltage compensation function is provided. In the display apparatus, a p-channel transistor is used as a driving transistor of the light-emitting device. Discharging is performed through a source-drain path while constant voltage is supplied to a gate so that Vth is extracted between the gate and the source. In addition, when a drain potential is set to the sum of forward voltage and a cathode potential of the light-emitting device or a potential sufficiently lower than the sum, it is possible to continue the discharging even when Vth is positive voltage. That is, compensation can be performed even in the case where Vth variation occurs from positive voltage to negative voltage.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a common semiconductor apparatus for driving two different circuits. The semiconductor apparatus is capable of switching a plurality of signal potentials and sequentially outputting the plurality of signal potentials to the outside. The semiconductor apparatus can make one of two different circuits arranged in a matrix operate in all the rows and can make the other circuit operate in all the rows or only in a specific row. For example, in the case where the semiconductor apparatus is applied to a row driver that drives pixels of a display device in which sensor elements are incorporated, the operation of display elements in pixels in all the rows and the operation of sensor elements in pixels in all the rows or in the specific row can be switched.

Abstract: A display apparatus suitable for wide-grayscale display is provided. The display apparatus includes, in a pixel, two driving transistors and a light-emitting device that are connected in series. One of the transistors is a p-channel transistor and the other of the transistors is an n-channel transistor, and switching therebetween is performed for driving. Such a configuration can inhibit the change in a gate-source voltage in display with a high grayscale level. In addition, the use of a transistor containing a metal oxide in a channel formation region as the n-channel transistor enables an increase in display characteristics in display with a low grayscale level.

Abstract: To provide an imaging device having a function of biometric authentication and a function of a touch sensor or a near touch sensor. The imaging device includes pixels, current mirror circuits, and CDS circuits. The pixels, the current mirror circuits, and the CDS circuits are electrically connected to read lines. The current mirror circuit includes a first and a second transistor. One of a source and a drain of the first transistor is electrically connected to the read line, and a power supply potential is supplied to the other of a source and a drain of the second transistor. The imaging device outputs imaging data written to the pixel, as a first signal, to the read line in a first period, and then, resets the imaging data and outputs a second signal from the pixel to the read line in a second period. In the first period, a first potential is supplied to terminals, and in the second period, a second potential is supplied to terminals. A difference between the second potential and the power supply potential is greater than a difference between the first potential and the power supply potential.

Abstract: A display apparatus including a pixel circuit that generates a PWM signal is provided. In the display apparatus, a pixel has a function of generating a PWM signal. The PWM signal can be generated by an operation of comparing gate-source voltage or on-state resistance of each of two transistors provided in the pixel. Light emission of a light-emitting device such as a micro LED or an organic EL element is controlled with a duty ratio using the generated PWM signal. The PWM signal is generated in a circuit formed of a small number of transistors, which is effective in increasing the definition and the area of the display apparatus.
