Abstract:
A scan line to which a selection signal or a non-selection signal is input from its end, and a transistor in which a clock signal is input to a gate, the non-selection signal is input to a source, and a drain is connected to the scan line are provided. A signal input to the end of the scan line is switched from the selection signal to the non-selection signal at the same or substantially the same time as the transistor is turned on. The non-selection signal is input not only from one end but also from both ends of the scan line. This makes it possible to inhibit the potentials of portions in the scan line from being changed at different times.

A semiconductor device including a capacitor whose charge capacity is increased while improving the aperture ratio is provided. Further, a semiconductor device which consumes less power is provided. A transistor which includes a light-transmitting semiconductor film, a capacitor in which a dielectric film is provided between a pair of electrodes, an insulating film which is provided over the light-transmitting semiconductor film, and a first light-transmitting conductive film which is provided over the insulating film are included. The capacitor includes the first light-transmitting conductive film which serves as one electrode, the insulating film which functions as a dielectric, and a second light-transmitting conductive film which faces the first light-transmitting conductive film with the insulating film positioned therebetween and functions as the other electrode. The second light-transmitting conductive film is formed over the same surface as the light-transmitting semiconductor film of the transistor and is a metal oxide film containing a dopant.

Abstract:
To provide a semiconductor device including a small-area circuit with high withstand voltage, an oxide semiconductor (OS) transistor is used as some of transistors included in a circuit handling an analog signal in a circuit to which high voltage is applied. The use of an OS transistor with high withstand voltage as a transistor requiring resistance to high voltage enables the circuit area to be reduced without lowering the performance, as compared to the case using a Si transistor. Furthermore, an OS transistor can be provided over a Si transistor, so that transistors using different semiconductor layers can be stacked, resulting in a much smaller circuit area.

The semiconductor device includes a first transistor including a first oxide semiconductor film and a second transistor including a second oxide semiconductor film over a substrate. When the oxide semiconductor films are subjected to electron diffraction, the ratio of the integrated intensity of luminance of a diffraction spot derived from c-axis alignment to the integrated intensity of luminance of a diffraction spot derived from alignment in any direction in the first oxide semiconductor film is higher than that in the second oxide semiconductor film. In addition, part of the first transistor is located between the second transistor and the substrate.

Abstract:
It is an object to form a buffer circuit, an inverter circuit, or the like using only n-channel TFTs including an oxide semiconductor layer. A buffer circuit, an inverter circuit, or the like is formed by combination of a first transistor in which a source electrode and a drain electrode each overlap with a gate electrode and a second transistor in which a source electrode overlaps with a gate electrode and a drain electrode does not overlap with the gate electrode. Since the second transistor has such a structure, the capacitance Cp can be small, and VA′ can be large even in the case where the potential difference VDD−VSS is small.
