Etching of a semiconductor layer including a part over a gate wiring and formation of a contact hole for connection between a pixel electrode and a drain electrode are performed by one-time photolithography step and one-time etching step; thus, the number of photolithography steps is reduced. The exposed part of the gate wiring is covered by an insulating layer, and this insulating layer also functions as a spacer for maintaining a space for a liquid crystal layer. By the reduction in the number of photolithography steps, a liquid crystal display device can be provided at lower cost and higher productivity. Using an oxide semiconductor for the semiconductor layer can realize a liquid crystal display device with low power consumption and high reliability.

The present invention relates to an EL display device in which a stereoscopic image is perceived and eyeglasses having a switching means with which an image for a left eye or an image for a right eye is selectively perceived. The image for the left eye and the image for the right eye are displayed in a display portion of the EL display device by holding an image signal from a signal line in a first capacitor in a first period, holding the image signal held in the first capacitor in a second capacitor to control current that flows through an emission-control transistor in a second period, and turning on a driving transistor to control light emission of a light-emitting element and holding an image signal from a signal line in the first capacitor in a third period.

A PLL circuit includes a phase detector, a loop filter (LF), a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), and a frequency divider. The phase detector compares a phase of a signal Fs which is input from outside with a phase of a signal Fo/N which is input from the frequency divider. The loop filter generates a signal Vin by removing alternating current components from a signal input from the phase detector. The voltage-controlled oscillator outputs a signal Fo based on the signal Vin input from the loop filter. The frequency divider converts the signal Fo output from the voltage-controlled oscillator into Fo/N (frequency division by N), and outputs it to the phase detector.

An object of the invention is to suppress degradation in image quality of a liquid crystal display device which performs display by field sequential method and to reduce power consumption of a backlight. The highest brightness of a first color light in a pixel region is detected. Gamma correction is performed so that transmittance of a pixel of the region displaying the highest brightness of the first color light is set to maximum and transmittance of other pixel of the region is decreased in accordance with lowering of the first color light intensity, and the region is irradiated with the highest brightness of the first color light. Similarly, a second color light is irradiated in another region concurrently with irradiation of the first color, whereby input of an image signal and lighting of the backlight are performed simultaneously in every region of the pixel portion.

An object is to provide a liquid crystal display device capable of image display according to an environment around the liquid crystal display device, e.g., in a bright environment or a dim environment. Another object is to provide a liquid crystal display device capable of displaying an image in both modes of a reflective mode in which external light is used as a light source and a transmissive mode in which a backlight is used. In order to achieve at least one of the above objects, a liquid crystal display device is provided with a region (a reflective region) where display is performed with reflection of incident light through a liquid crystal layer and a region (a transmissive region) where display is performed with transmission of light from a backlight and can switch the transmissive mode and the reflective mode. In the case where a full-color image is displayed, a pixel portion includes at least a first region and a second region, a plurality of lights of different hues are sequentially supplied to the first region according to a first order, and a plurality of lights of different hues are also sequentially supplied to the second region according to a second order which is different from the first order.

In a conventional display device comprising a sub-display, the display device is increased in thickness and in the number of components as the number of displays is increased. In the present invention, a dual emission display device is used so that either surface of a display is used as a main display or a sub-display. Accordingly, the display device can be reduced in thickness and in the number of components. Further, mechanical reliability can be enhanced when the invention is applied to a tablet PC, a video camera and the like.
