The present invention provides a
display device having a novel material and a
transistor made from the novel material. [Solution] The material is a
composite oxide having at least two regions, one of which contains In, Zn, and element M1 (element M1 is one or more of Al, Ga, Si, B, Y, Ti, Fe, Ni, Ge, Zr, Mo, La, Ce, Nd, Hf, Ta, W, Mg, V, Be, or Cu), and the other region contains In, Zn, and element M2 (element M2 is one or more of Al, Ga, Si, B, Y, Ti, Fe, Ni, Ge, Zr, Mo, La, Ce, Nd, Hf, Ta, W, Mg, V, Be, or Cu). When the
composite oxide is analyzed by energy-dispersive X-
ray spectroscopy, element M1 in the first region is detected in smaller amounts than element M2 in the second region, and the
peripheral area of the first region is observed to be blurred by mapping analysis in energy-dispersive X-
ray spectroscopy.
