摘要:
A semiconductor device with less power consumption and an electronic appliance using the same. The semiconductor device of the invention is supplied with a first potential from a high potential power source and a second potential from a low potential power source. Upon input of a first signal to an input node, an output node outputs a second signal. With the semiconductor device of the invention, a potential difference of the second signal can be controlled to be smaller than a potential difference between the first potential and the second potential, thereby power consumption required for charging/discharging wires can be reduced.

Power consumption required for charging and discharging a source signal line is reduced in an active matrix EL display device. A bipolar transistor (Bi1) has a base terminal B connected to an output terminal c1 of an operational amplifier (ON), a collector terminal C connected to a low power potential (GND), and an emitter terminal E connected to a resistor R2. A high power potential (VBH) is a potential in synchronization with a high power potential of a light emitting element. A potential of the output terminal c1 of the operational amplifier (OP1) is outputted as a buffer low power potential (VBL). The low power potential (VBL) corresponds to a potential difference between the high power potential (VBH) and a high power potential (V1). Accordingly, the low power potential (VBL) can follow the high power potential (VBH), that is a high power potential of the light emitting element.

A manufacturing method of a display device, which prevents electrostatic breakdown of the display device both before and after a circuit test without reducing the productivity in forming a plurality of display devices on a substrate to be processed by a step-and-repeat exposing method. A wiring pattern group led out from signal input terminals of the display devices to the edge of the substrate to be processed is efficiently formed by exposing to light through a repetitive pattern integrated with a display device pattern. Depending on the states of the wiring pattern group as to contact or non-contact with a detachable and conductive component, the signal input terminals of the display devices can be easily switched between in a short circuited state and a non-short circuited state. Accordingly, both the measure against electrostatic breakdown and the circuit test are achieved in the display devices on the substrate to be processed.

A method of driving an EL display device in which pseudo contours are difficult to be seen is provided. A method of driving an EL display device in which a plurality of pixels, each having a first TFT, a second TFT, a third TFT, and an organic EL element, are formed has the following: n+m display periods (where n and m are both natural numbers) appear in one frame period; the n+m display periods each correspond to one bit of a digital video signal among n bits of the digital video signal; a plurality of display periods, among the n+m display periods, correspond to the same bit of the digital video signal; and display periods corresponding to other bits of the digital video signal, among the n+m display periods, appear during the plurality of display periods.

A light emitting device capable of suppressing generation of pseudo-contours by increasing the frame frequency while suppressing the drive frequency of a driver circuit is provided. According to the present invention, gray scales are displayed not only by controlling the emission period of a light emitting element, but also by controlling the luminance of the light emitting element. Specifically, one frame period is divided into a plurality of sub-frame periods each having an equal length, and the luminance of the light emitting element in each sub-frame period is controlled to have different levels. By controlling the total sum of the luminance level of the sub-frame periods that are selected with a video signal, a desired gray scale can be displayed.
