An object is to provide a solid-state imaging device or a semiconductor display device with which a high-quality image can be taken. By performing operation using a global shutter method, a potential for controlling charge accumulation operation can be shared by all pixels. In addition, a first photosensor group includes a plurality of photosensors connected to a wiring supplied with an output signal, and a second photosensor group includes a plurality of photosensors connected to another wiring supplied with the output signal. A wiring for supplying a potential or a signal for controlling charge accumulation operation to the first photosensor group is connected to a wiring for supplying the potential or signal to the second photosensor group.

The image forming apparatus includes a charging unit, a latent image forming unit, a transfer unit that develops the latent image, a first application unit that applies a voltage to the charging and transfer units, a second application unit that applies a voltage opposite in polarity to the voltage applied from the first application unit, a detection unit that detects a current flowing through the transfer unit, and a control unit that determines whether or not discharge starts between the charging unit and the image bearing member based on the current detected by the detection unit when the voltage is applied from the first application unit to the charging unit. The variation in potential of the image bearing member may be reduced in an apparatus having a low-cost structure without providing a density detection sensor or a temperature-humidity sensor.

A potential of a data signal line S during a scanning period is charged to a substantially intermediate potential of a data signal at a corresponding frame. Thus, extremely large dispersion does not occur in a potential of each pixel capacitor with respect to a potential of the data signal line S, so that it is possible to restrict dispersion of a leak current flowing via an active element of each pixel. Thus, potential variation of a pixel PIX is reduced, so that it is possible to improve display quality during a non-scanning period. That is, in an active-matrix-type liquid crystal display, when a frame frequency is reduced by setting the non-scanning period to be sufficiently larger than a scanning period while a standby image is being displayed so as to realize low power consumption, the display quality is improved.

To suppress variation of a signal in a semiconductor device. By suppressing the variation, formation of a stripe pattern in displaying an image on a semiconductor device can be suppressed, for example. A distance between two adjacent signal lines which go into a floating state in different periods (G1) is longer than a distance between two adjacent signal lines which go into a floating state in the same period (G0, G2). Consequently, variation in potential of a signal line due to capacitive coupling can be suppressed. For example, in the case where the signal line is a source signal line in an active matrix display device, formation of a stripe pattern in a displayed image can be suppressed.
