[0070] [Method of driving the second display element] As shown in FIG. 1A, in the pixel 10(m,n), The gate electrode is electrically connected to the scanning line GL_E2[m]. One of the source electrode and the drain electrode of the transistor 4 is electrically connected to the signal line SL_E2[n]. , the other is the gate electrode of the transistor MB4, the capacitance element Cs_E7 and the capacitance element Cs The transistor MA4 is electrically connected to one of the electrodes of the transistor E8. By switching between these, it has a function of controlling the writing of data of the data signal.
[0071] One of the source electrode and the drain electrode of the transistor MB4 is connected to a pair of the display element 14B. The source electrode and drain electrode of the transistor MB4 are electrically connected to one of the electrodes. The other of the pair of electrodes of the display element 14B is electrically connected to the wiring ANODE. is electrically connected to the wiring CATHODE. The transistor MB4 is The transistor functions as a so-called drive transistor, which controls the current supplied to the transistor.
[0072] The transistor MB4 has a front gate electrode and a back gate electrode above and below the semiconductor film. The back gate electrode of transistor MB4 is a dual gate transistor having a is electrically connected to the front gate electrode of the transistor MB4. The current driving capability can be improved.
[0073] Between the front gate electrode of the transistor MB4 and the wiring ANODE, a capacitance element Cs _E7 is formed. Also, the front gate electrode of the transistor MB4 and the wiring CSCO A capacitance element Cs_E8 is formed between the pixel 10(m, n) and the pixel 10(m, n). The EEPROM has the function of retaining the data written in the EEPROM.
[0074] For example, the gate driver circuit unit 504b shown in FIG. 2 drives the pixels 10(m,1) in each row. 10(m,Y) are selected in sequence, and the transistors MA1 to MA4 are turned on. The data of the data signal is written. The pixels 10(m,1) to 10(m,2) to which the data is written are (m, Y) is put into a holding state by the transistors MA1 to MA4 being turned off. Furthermore, the sources of the transistors MB1 to MB4 are turned on in response to the potential of the written data signal. The amount of current flowing between the electrode and the drain electrode is controlled, and the display element 14 changes color in response to the amount of current flowing. By repeating this process row by row, an image can be displayed.
[0075] As described above, the first display element, the display element 14W having the function of emitting white light, A transistor MB1 that drives the first display element has the function of emitting red light. A transistor MB2 that drives the display element 14R, and a transistor MB3 that drives the first display element, The front gate electrode of the transistor MB3 that drives the display element 14G having the function of emitting light. Each of them is electrically connected to either the source electrode or the drain electrode. On the other hand, the second display element, ie, the display element 14B having a function of emitting blue light, is driven. The front gate electrode of the transistor MB4 is electrically connected to the back gate electrode. With this configuration, compared to the transistors MB1 to MB3, The transistor MB4 can improve the current driving capability. A second display element 14 that emits blue light is provided in addition to the first display elements 14W, 14R, and 14G. Since the current flowing through B can be increased, the brightness of the blue light emitted from the display element 14B is high. Therefore, the brightness of the display device can be increased.
[0076] In addition, even if the current density flowing through the driving transistor is the same, the luminance of the light emitted varies depending on the EL material. A poor balance of red, green and blue light luminance can cause the white balance of a display device to be distorted. The white balance may become worse. If a blue EL material with low luminance is used for the display element 14B, In this case, by using the transistor MB4 with high current driving capability, The brightness of the blue light emitted from the OLED is increased. Thus, the brightness of the red, green and blue lights is balanced. This improves the contrast and improves the white balance of the display device.
[0077] In addition, the back gate electrode of the transistor for driving the first display element is connected to the source electrode. In comparison with a transistor in which the source electrode is electrically connected to either the drain or source electrode, The back gate electrode is electrically connected to the front gate electrode. The transistor connected to the wiring requires a large area, which reduces the aperture ratio of the pixel. In some cases, the back gate electrode is placed on the front gate only in the transistor where the luminance of the light-emitting element is to be increased. By configuring the second display element to be electrically connected to the gate electrode, the aperture ratio of the pixel is reduced. It is possible to manufacture a display device with high definition while suppressing the generation of noise.
[0078] As described above, the display device according to one embodiment of the present invention has high luminance and excellent white balance. Moreover, a display device with high resolution can be provided.
[0079] In addition, an example of a configuration in which blue is used as the second display element and the luminance of blue light is increased has been shown. However, one embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. In addition, two or more colors may be configured in the second display element.
[0080] [Third display element driving method] In the pixel 10(m,n), the gate electrode of the transistor MA5 is connected to the scanning line GL_L[ m]. Also, the source electrode or drain electrode of the transistor MA5 One of them is electrically connected to the signal line SL_L[n], and the other is a pair of electrodes of the display element 12. Transistor MA5 is electrically connected to one of the terminals. This provides a function of controlling the writing of data of a data signal.
[0081] The other of the pair of electrodes of the display element 12 is electrically connected to the wiring TCOM.
[0082] One of the pair of electrodes of the capacitance element Cs_L is connected to the source electrode of the transistor MA5 or is electrically connected to the other of the drain electrodes and one of the pair of electrodes of the display element 12, The other of the pair of electrodes of the element Cs_L is electrically connected to the wiring CSCOM. s_L has a function of holding data written to pixel 10(m,n). COM indicates that noise generated in the display element 12 is 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first gate electrode is a front gate electrode or a back gate electrode. It has a suppressing effect.
[0083] For example, the gate driver circuit unit 504a shown in FIG. 2 drives the pixels 10(m,1) in each row. 10(m,Y) are sequentially selected, and the transistor MA5 is turned on, The data of the data signal is written to the pixels 10(m,1) to 10(m,2). m, Y) are held when the transistor MA5 is turned off. By performing this sequentially, an image can be displayed.
[0084] In addition, a configuration without the third display element and only the first display element and the second display element can be used. good.
[0085] In addition, the transistors MA1 to MA5 and the transistor It is preferable that the transistors MB1 to MB4 have a metal oxide in the semiconductor film. The transistors that use this method have a relatively high field effect mobility, making it possible to operate at high speeds. In addition, the off-state current of a transistor having a metal oxide is extremely small. Even if the refresh rate of the display device is lowered, the brightness of the display device can be maintained, and power consumption is reduced. can be suppressed.
[0086] The display method of the display element 12 and the display element 14 may be a progressive method or an inverse method. In addition, color display can be controlled by pixels.

Therefore, visibility can be improved even in an environment with strong external light. When using the pixel 12 to display gradations, the backlight, etc., can be controlled more easily than in a transmissive liquid crystal display device. Since there is no need to control the power consumption, it is possible to reduce the power consumption.
[0088] On the other hand, the display element 14 is a so-called light-emitting element, and therefore has poor visibility in an environment where the intensity of external light is weak. In addition, when the display element 14 is used for gray scale display, the display element 14 is a transmissive type. Unlike liquid crystal display devices, it does not use a backlight, etc., and light emission can be controlled at the pixel level. It is possible to improve the image quality of trust, etc.
[0089] The display device 500 may perform gradation display using the display element 12 and the display element 14. By performing gradation display using the display element 12 and the display element 14, Compared to a case where gradation display is performed using only one of the display elements 14, visibility is improved.

[0131] Next, a sealing material 82 is applied onto the conductive film 78, and a substrate on which transistors, display elements, etc. are formed is formed. The plate 30 and the substrate 80 are bonded together (see FIG. 11(B) and FIG. 22).

[0160] In addition, when a conductive film is formed by electroless plating, the constituent elements of the conductive film tend to diffuse outward. In order to prevent the conductive film from diffusing, a diffusion prevention film may be formed under the conductive film. A seed film on which the conductive film can be grown may be formed between the film and the conductive film. The diffusion prevention film can be formed by using, for example, a sputtering method.

The emission wavelength can be easily adjusted by changing the size of the quantum dots used. can be done.
[0173] In addition, quantum dots have a narrow emission spectrum peak width, so they can emit light with good color purity. Furthermore, the theoretical internal quantum efficiency of quantum dots is said to be nearly 100%. This is much higher than the 25% of organic compounds that emit fluorescent light, and the 15% of organic compounds that emit phosphorescent light. This means that quantum dots can be used as light-emitting materials. In addition, quantum dots, which are inorganic compounds, can be used to obtain a light-emitting device with high luminous efficiency. Since the organic compound has excellent inherent stability, it is possible to obtain a light-emitting device having a long service life. This can be done.

In addition, the composition is expressed in any ratio, so-called alloy type quantum dots. For example, cadmium, selenium, and sulfur alloy quantum dots are By changing the content ratio, the emission wavelength can be changed, which is effective for obtaining blue emission. This is one of the effective measures.
[0176] Quantum dot structures include core type, core-shell type, and core-multishell type. Either of these can be used, but it is also advisable to cover the core with another inorganic material with a wider band gap. By forming a shell of material, defects and dangling bonds on the nanocrystal surface can be eliminated. This greatly improves the quantum efficiency of light emission, It is preferable to use core-shell or core-multishell quantum dots. Examples of materials include zinc sulfide and zinc oxide.
[0177] In addition, quantum dots have a high proportion of surface atoms, making them highly reactive and less prone to aggregation. Therefore, a protective agent or a protective group is attached to the surface of the quantum dots. It is preferable that the protecting agent is attached or the protecting group is provided. It is possible to prevent aggregation and increase solubility in solvents. It is also possible to reduce reactivity and electrically It is also possible to improve stability.

[0178] As quantum dots become smaller, their band gaps become larger, so the desired wavelengths can be obtained. The size of the crystal is adjusted accordingly to obtain long-range light. As the crystal size becomes smaller, The emission of quantum dots is shifted to the blue side, i.e., to higher energy, so quantum dots By varying the size of the ion beam, the wavelength range of the spectrum in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions can be expanded. The emission wavelength can be adjusted over a wide range. The size (diameter) of the quantum dot is 0 The range of 0.5 nm to 20 nm, preferably 1 nm to 10 nm, is commonly used. The narrower the size distribution of quantum dots, the narrower the emission spectrum becomes, and the more colorless the light becomes. The quantum dots can be formed in any shape, including spherical. The quantum dots may be in the shape of a rod, a disk, or other shapes. Since quantum rods emit light polarized along the c-axis, they can be used as light-emitting materials. This makes it possible to obtain a light emitting element having better external quantum efficiency.
[0179] In addition, in many cases, the luminescence efficiency of EL elements is improved by dispersing the luminescent material in the host material. However, the host material has a higher singlet excitation energy or triplet excitation energy than the emitting material. In particular, when using blue phosphorescent materials, or more, and is a host material having an excellent lifetime. On the other hand, quantum dots can be formed without using a host material. Even if the light-emitting layer is made of only fluorine, the light-emitting efficiency can be maintained. In this respect, a preferable light-emitting device can be obtained. Preferably, the quantum dots have a core-shell structure (including a core-multishell structure). It is.
