    Abstract: A display device with favorable display quality is provided. A display portion where a plurality of pixels is arranged in a matrix is divided into Region A and Region B, i.e., regions on the upstream side and the downstream side of a scanning direction. A signal line for supplying an image signal is provided in each of Region A and Region B. Region A and Region B adjoin each other such that a boundary line showing the boundary between the regions is bent. Bending the boundary line suppresses formation of a stripe in a boundary portion. For example, in a given column, the total number of pixels electrically connected to a signal line in Region A is made different from the total number of pixels electrically connected to a signal line in Region B.

    Abstract: An object is to provide a semiconductor device that can maintain the connection relation between logic circuit units or the circuit configuration of each of the logic circuit units even after supply of power supply voltage is stopped. Another object is to provide a semiconductor device in which the connection relation between logic circuit units or the circuit configuration of each of the logic circuit units can be changed at high speed. In a reconfigurable circuit, an oxide semiconductor is used for a semiconductor element that stores data on the circuit configuration, connection relation, or the like. Specifically, the oxide semiconductor is used for a channel formation region of the semiconductor element.

    Abstract: A microcontroller which operates in a low power consumption mode is provided. A microcontroller includes a CPU, a memory, and a peripheral circuit such as a timer circuit. A register in the peripheral circuit is provided in an interface with a bus line. A power gate for controlling supply control is provided. The microcontroller can operate not only in a normal operation mode where all circuits are active, but also in a low power consumption mode where some of the circuits are active. A volatile memory and nonvolatile memory are provided in a register, such as a register of the CPU. Data in the volatile memory is backed up in the nonvolatile memory before the power supply is stopped. In the case where the operation mode returns to the normal mode, when power supply is started again, data in the nonvolatile memory is written back into the volatile memory.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device including a test circuit is miniaturized. The semiconductor device includes r first input terminals (r is an integer of 2 or more), a second input terminal, r functional circuits, a demultiplexer, and a switch circuit. The demultiplexer is a pass transistor logic circuit. R output terminals of the demultiplexer are electrically connected to respective input terminals of the functional circuit and the input terminal is electrically connected to the second input teiminal. Input terminals of the r circuits are electrically connected to the respective first input terminals through the switch circuit. For example, a signal for verification is input to the first input terminal in verification of the functional circuit to operate the demultiplexer. One signal for verification is input to r functional circuits by the demultiplexer.

    Abstract: A novel semiconductor device and a driving method thereof are provided. In the semiconductor device, a (volatile) node which holds data that is rewritten by arithmetic processing as appropriate and a node in which the data is stored are electrically connected through a source and a drain of a transistor whose channel is formed in an oxide semiconductor layer. The off-state current value of the transistor is extremely low. Therefore, electric charge scarcely leaks through the transistor from the latter node, and thus data can be held in the latter node even in a period during which supply of power source voltage is stopped. In the semiconductor device, a means of setting the potential of the latter node to a predetermined potential is provided. Specifically, a means of supplying a potential corresponding to “1” or “0” that is data stored in the latter node from the former node is provided.

    Abstract: The data in a volatile memory may conventionally be lost even in case of a very short time power down or supply voltage drop such as an outage or sag. In view of the foregoing, an object is to extend data retention time even with a volatile memory for high-speed data processing. Data retention time can be extended by backing up the data content stored in the volatile memory in a memory including a capacitor and an oxide semiconductor transistor.
