Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of detecting a micro-short circuit of a secondary battery is provided. The semiconductor device includes a first source follower, a second source follower, a transistor, a capacitor, and a comparator. A negative electrode potential and a positive electrode potential of the secondary battery are supplied to the semiconductor device, a first potential is input to the first source follower, and a second potential is input to the second source follower. A signal for controlling the conduction state of the transistor is input to a gate of the transistor, and an output potential of the first source follower related to the potential between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the secondary battery is sampled. The comparator compares the sampled potential with an output potential of the second source follower, whereby the semiconductor device can deal with a secondary battery in which the potential between the positive electrode and the negative electrode is changed by charge and discharge.

Abstract: To improve the display quality of a display device. To provide a method of correcting image data input to the display device. To provide a novel image correction method or an image correction system. Machine learning for a neural network correcting image data input to the display device is performed by the following method: second image data based on an image that is displayed on the display device by input of first image data to the display device is obtained; third image data is generated by obtaining a difference between the first image data and the second image data; fourth image data is generated by adding the first image data and the third image data; and a weight coefficient is updated so that output data obtained by input of the first image data to the neural network is close to the fourth image data.

Abstract: A display device having high visibility regardless of illuminance of external light is provided. A display device with reduced power consumption is provided. The display device includes a first light-receiving circuit including a first light-receiving element; and a pixel circuit including a display element. The first light-receiving circuit and the pixel circuit are formed over the same substrate.
