    Abstract: An object is to provide a photosensor utilizing an oxide semiconductor in which a refreshing operation is unnecessary, a semiconductor device provided with the photosensor, and a light measurement method utilizing the photosensor. It is found that a constant gate current can be obtained by applying a gate voltage in a pulsed manner to a transistor including a channel formed using an oxide semiconductor, and this is applied to a photosensor. Since a refreshing operation of the photosensor is unnecessary, it is possible to measure the illuminance of light with small power consumption through a high-speed and easy measurement procedure. A transistor utilizing an oxide semiconductor having a relatively high mobility, a small S value, and a small off-state current can form a photosensor; therefore, a multifunction semiconductor device can be obtained through a small number of steps.

    Abstract: To prevent damage on an element even when a voltage high enough to break the element is input. A semiconductor device of the invention operates with a first voltage and includes a protection circuit which changes the value of the first voltage when the absolute value of the first voltage is higher than a reference value. The protection circuit includes: a control signal generation circuit generating a second voltage based on the first voltage and outputting the generated second voltage; and a voltage control circuit. The voltage control circuit includes a transistor which has a source, a drain, and a gate, and which is turned on or off depending on the second voltage input to the gate and thus controls whether the value of the first voltage is changed based on the amount of current flowing between the source and the drain. The transistor also includes an oxide semiconductor layer.
