Abstract: An imaging device that has an image processing function and is capable of a high-speed operation is provided. The imaging device has an additional function such as image processing, and can retain analog data obtained by an image capturing operation in pixels and extract data obtained by multiplying the analog data by a given weight coefficient. In the imaging device, the data is stored in a memory cell and pooling processing of data stored in a plurality of memory cells can be performed. The pixels are provided so as to have a region overlapping with at least one of the memory cells, a pooling processing circuit, and a reading circuit of the pixels; thus, an increase in the area of the imaging device can be inhibited even with an additional function.

Abstract: An imaging device that has an image processing function and is capable of operating at high speed is provided. The imaging device has an additional function such as image processing, image data obtained by an imaging operation is binarized in a pixel unit, and a product-sum operation is performed using the binarized data. A memory circuit is provided in the pixel unit and retains a weight coefficient used for the product-sum operation. Thus, an arithmetic operation can be performed without the weight coefficient read from the outside every time, whereby power consumption can be reduced. Furthermore, a pixel circuit, a memory circuit, and the like and a product-sum operation circuit and the like are stacked, so that the lengths of wirings between the circuits can be reduced, and high-speed operation with low power consumption can be performed.

Abstract: A correction method of a display apparatus is provided. A method for evaluating display quality of a display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a display panel, a correction circuit, and a memory. First, first imaging data including all pixels in the display apparatus is acquired in a state where an image with a first grayscale is displayed on the display apparatus. Then, second imaging data including all the pixels in the display apparatus is acquired in a state where an image with a second grayscale is displayed on the display apparatus. Next, correction data is generated based on the first imaging data and the second imaging data. After that, the correction data is output to the memory of the display apparatus. The correction circuit has a function of correcting image data based on the correction data stored in the memory to generate corrected image data and outputting the corrected image data to the display panel.
