    Abstract: The present invention provides a memory circuit in which, while the power is not supplied, a data signal that has been held in a memory section corresponding to a volatile memory can be held in a capacitor in a memory section corresponding to a nonvolatile memory. In the nonvolatile memory section, a transistor whose channel is formed in an oxide semiconductor layer allows a signal to be held in the capacitor for a long period. Thus, the memory circuit can hold a logic state (data signal) even while the power supply is stopped. A potential applied to a gate of the transistor whose channel is formed in an oxide semiconductor layer is raised by a booster circuit provided between a wiring for carrying power supply potential and the gate of the transistor, allowing a data signal to be held even by one power supply potential without malfunction.

    Abstract: In the case where a still image is displayed on a pixel portion having a pixel, for example, a driver circuit for controlling writing of an image signal having image data to the pixel portion stops by stopping supply of power supply voltage to the driver circuit, and writing of an image signal to the pixel portion is stopped. After the driver circuit stops, supply of power supply voltage to a panel controller for controlling the operation of the driver circuit and an image memory for storing the image data is stopped, and supply of power supply voltage to a CPU for collectively controlling the operation of the panel controller, the image memory, and a power supply controller for controlling supply of power supply voltage to a variety of circuits in a semiconductor display device is stopped.
