Abstract: An imaging device with low power consumption is provided. The pixel of the imaging device includes first and second photoelectric conversion elements, and first to fifth transistors. A cathode of the first photoelectric conversion element is electrically connected to the first transistor. An anode of a second photoelectric conversion element is electrically connected to the second transistor. Imaging data of a reference frame is obtained using the first photoelectric conversion element, and then imaging data of a difference detection frame is obtained using the second photoelectric conversion element. After the imaging data of the difference detection frame is obtained, a first potential that is a potential of a signal output from the pixel and a second potential that is a reference potential are compared. Whether or not there is a difference between the imaging data of the reference frame and the imaging data of the difference detection frame is determined using the first potential and the second potential.

Abstract: A display device capable of improving image quality is provided. The display device includes a first circuit, a pixel, and a wiring. The first circuit has a function of supplying data to the wiring and a function of making the wiring floating to hold the data. The pixel has a function of taking in the data twice from the wiring and performing addition. The pixel can perform the first writing of the data in a period during which the data is supplied to the wiring, and can perform the second writing of the data in a period during which the data is held in the wiring. Therefore, by one time of data charging to a source line, a data potential larger than or equal to an output voltage of a source driver can be supplied to a display element.

Abstract: A display device capable of improving the image quality is provided. The display device includes a pixel in which a first node, a second node, a third node, and a display element are provided, and the same image data is written to the first node and the second node first. Then, at the same time when the image data is read from the second node to the third node, the image data is added to the image data in the first node by capacitive coupling. This operation enables a data potential higher than or equal to the output voltage of a source driver to be supplied to the display element.

Abstract: A display device capable of performing proper display without image signal conversion is provided. In the case of high-resolution display, individual data is supplied to each pixel through a first signal line and a first transistor included in each pixel. In the case of low-resolution display, the same data is supplied to a plurality of pixels through a second signal line and a second transistor electrically connected to the plurality of pixels. When the number of image signals to be displayed is more than one and the image signals support different resolutions, display can be performed without up conversion or down conversion by switching an image signal supply path as described above.

Abstract: A display device capable of improving image quality with low power consumption is provided. A storage node is provided in each pixel and a first signal can be held in the storage node. A second signal is added to the first signal by capacitive coupling to generate a third signal. A display element operates in response to the third signal. Thus, regardless of the output voltage of a driver that supplies data, a high voltage can be supplied to the display element. Consequently, even a display element that requires a relatively high voltage for operation can operate with low power consumption.
