Compared to pixel circuits that use transistors with silicon as the semiconductor film, The time for which the image signal can be held can be extended. While suppressing generation, the selection signal is set to be less than 30 Hz, preferably less than 1 Hz, more preferably As a result, the information can be stored in the information processing device. This reduces fatigue caused by the driving force and also reduces power consumption during driving.

[0182] In addition, compared with pixel circuits that use transistors with amorphous silicon semiconductor films, As a result, the time for which the pixel circuit can hold the image signal can be extended. In this case, the second selection signal is generated at a frequency of less than 30 Hz, preferably less than 1 Hz, and more preferably less than once per minute. As a result, the global shutter method can be used to capture images with a frequency of less than 1000 times. It is also possible to shoot moving subjects with minimal distortion.

[0184] For example, the leakage current in the off state is A transistor smaller than that used in the prior art can be used. A transistor using a conductor as a semiconductor film can be used as a switch, etc. , longer than circuits that use amorphous silicon transistors as switches, The potential of the floating node can be maintained.

[0185] For example, a 25 nm thick film containing indium, gallium, and zinc is deposited on the semiconductor film 508. It can be used.

[0186] For example, a 10 nm thick film containing tantalum and nitrogen and a 300 nm thick film containing copper A conductive film in which these are stacked can be used as the conductive film 504. Note that a film containing copper can be used as an insulating film. 506, a region sandwiching a film containing tantalum and nitrogen is provided.

The film containing silicon and nitrogen has silicon, oxygen, and It has regions sandwiching nitrogen-containing films.

[0188] For example, a 50 nm thick film containing tungsten and a 400 nm thick film containing aluminum are A conductive film in which a film containing titanium and a film having a thickness of 100 nm are stacked in this order is called a conductive film 512. A film containing tungsten can be used as the conductive film 512A or the conductive film 512B. It has an area that contacts the membrane 508 .

[0189] By the way, for example, a bottom gate transistor using amorphous silicon as a semiconductor The production line for bottom-gate transistors uses oxide semiconductors as the semiconductor. It can be easily modified into a production line. The transistor production line is a top-gate transistor that uses oxide semiconductors as the semiconductor. Both modifications can be easily made to existing production lines. It can be used.

For example, Alternatively, the first selection signal can be supplied by the conductive film S1g (see FIG. 7B). j) can be used to supply an image signal. The operation of making the pixel circuit 530G(i,j) acquire the signal can be called "writing" ( See Figure 16).

[0318] The light-emitting device 550G(i,j) emits light based on an image signal (see FIG. 7B).

[0319] The light-emitting device 550G(i,j) is electrically connected to the pixel circuit 530G(i,j). and an electrode 552 electrically connected to the conductive film VCOM2. (See Figures 8 and 11A).

[0323] The transistor M32(j) has a gate electrode electrically connected to the conductive film VLEN and a conductive a first electrode electrically connected to the conductive film WX(j), and a second electrode electrically connected to the conductive film VIV. 2 electrodes and equipped.

[0324] When the switch SW33 is in a conductive state, the conductive film WX(j) is connected to the transistor M31( (j) and transistor M32(j) are connected (see Figures 9 and 15A). Therefore, a source follower is formed using transistor M31(j) and transistor M32(j). Alternatively, a conductive film WX(j ) can be changed.

[0325] <<Configuration example of sampling circuit SC(j)>> The sampling circuit SC(j) has a first terminal IN(j), a second terminal, and a third terminal O UT(j) (see FIG. 15B).

[0326] The first terminal is electrically connected to the conductive film WX(j), and the second terminal is electrically connected to the conductive film CL. The third terminal OUT(j) outputs a signal that changes based on the potential of the first terminal IN(j). It has the function of supplying a signal.

SC(j) can be provided for each conductive film WX(j). Pixel circuit 530S(i,j) The differential signal can be obtained for each conductive film WX(j). The operating frequency of the circuit SC(j) can be suppressed, or noise can be reduced. As a result, a novel functional panel with excellent convenience and reliability can be provided. .

[0328] <Configuration example 4 of function panel 700> The functional panel 700 includes a driving circuit RD (see FIG. 14).

[0329] <<Driver circuit RD configuration example 1>> The driver circuit RD supplies a second selection signal and a third selection signal.

Membrane SE(i) can be used to provide a third selection signal (see FIG. 9).

[0331] It should be noted that the operation of supplying the second selection signal and causing the pixel circuit 530S(i,j) to acquire the imaging signal is The operation can be called "imaging" (see FIG. 16). The operation of reading out an image signal from a photoelectric conversion element can be called "reading out." The operation of supplying power to the conversion element PD(i,j) is called "initialization" and the ... The action of exposing the conversion element PD(i,j) to light is called "exposure," and the voltage that changes with exposure is called "image." The operation of reflecting the data in the elementary circuit 530S(i,j) can be called "transfer." SRS is the operation of supplying the reference signal used in the correlated double sampling method, and "output" is the imaging signal. This corresponds to the operation of supplying a signal.

Also, the electrode 552 used in the light-emitting device 550G(i, j) can be used for the photoelectric conversion element PD(i,j). In addition, the manufacturing process can be simplified.

[0336] This allows imaging to be performed during the period when the first selection signal is not being supplied. Noise during imaging can be suppressed. It is possible to read the image signal during the reading period. As a result, a novel functional panel that is highly convenient, useful, and reliable can be provided. This can be done.

[0337] <<Configuration Example 3 of Pixel 703(i,j)>> The pixel 703(i,j) is supplied with a second selection signal during a period in which one image signal is held. For example, during the period in which the pixel circuit 530G(i,j) holds one image signal, 703(i,j) uses the light-emitting device 550G(i,j) to generate a light based on the image signal. As a result, light can be emitted (see FIG. 16). After acquiring one image signal based on the first selection signal, the first selection signal is again supplied. During this time, the pixel circuit 530S(i,j) is supplied with a second selection signal.

[0338] This allows the intensity of light emitted by the light-emitting device 550G(i,j) to be calculated using the image signal. Alternatively, light with controlled intensity can be projected onto the subject. Alternatively, the photoelectric conversion element PD(i, j) can be used to capture an image of the subject. While controlling the intensity of the light to be irradiated, the object is captured by the photoelectric conversion element PD(i,j). Alternatively, one pixel of the signal held by the pixel circuit 530G(i,j) can be captured. This eliminates the influence on the imaging signal caused by the change from one image signal to another. As a result, a novel functional panel that is highly convenient, useful, and reliable can be provided. do.

[0342] This allows a predetermined pixel to be selected from a plurality of pixels arranged in the row direction to acquire imaging information. Alternatively, the number of simultaneously acquired imaging signals can be limited to a predetermined number. Alternatively, the number of input channels may be less than the number of pixels arranged in the row direction. As a result, it is possible to use an ADC that is superior in convenience, availability, or reliability. It is possible to provide a novel functional panel.

Alternatively, the manufacturing process of the functional panel can be simplified. As a result, convenience and effectiveness are improved. It is possible to provide a novel functional panel that is excellent in usability and reliability.

[0346] <<Configuration example of analog-to-digital conversion circuit ADC>> The analog-to-digital conversion circuit (ADC) converts analog image signals into digital signals. This makes it possible to suppress deterioration of the image signal due to transmission.

[0423] 《Case》 The housing has a function of housing the input / output device 220 or the arithmetic unit 210. The housing has a function of supporting the display unit 230 or the computing device 210 .

[0424] This allows the control information to be generated based on the input information or the detected information. Alternatively, image information may be displayed based on input or sensed information. The information processing device is subjected to a shock that is received by the housing of the information processing device in the environment in which the information processing device is used. The user of the information processing device can operate by grasping the intensity of the light. As a result, a new information processing device with excellent convenience and reliability can be provided. can be provided.

[0425] These components cannot be clearly separated, and one component may also serve as another component. For example, a touch panel in which a touch sensor is superimposed on a display panel may include a part of the , which is both a display unit and an input unit.

[0426] <<Configuration Example 2 of the Calculation Device 210>> The computing device 210 includes an artificial intelligence unit 213 (see FIG. 19A).

[0427] The artificial intelligence unit 213 is supplied with input information II or detection information DS. Based on the force information II or the detection information DS, the control information CI is inferred. 213 provides control information CI.

[0428] This makes it possible to generate control information CI that is displayed in a way that is perceived as appropriate. Or it can be displayed in a way that is perceived as suitable or comfortable. It is possible to generate control information CI that is displayed so that the user feels comfortable. As a result, it is possible to create a new product that is convenient and reliable. It is possible to provide an information processing device.

[0429] [Natural Language Processing for Input Information II] Specifically, the artificial intelligence unit 213 performs natural language processing on the input information II and extracts the following from the entire input information II: For example, the artificial intelligence unit 213 can extract one feature from the input information II. It is possible to infer emotions and other such things and turn them into features. The artificial intelligence unit 213 can infer the color, pattern, font, etc. that is perceived by the user. generates information specifying the color, pattern or font of characters, and information specifying the color or pattern of the background. This can be used for control information CI.

[0430] Specifically, the artificial intelligence unit 213 performs natural language processing on the input information II and extracts the information contained in the input information II. For example, the artificial intelligence unit 213 can extract some words that are likely to be used. The artificial intelligence unit 213 can extract expressions containing false beliefs or emotions. Generates control information CI that displays the output part in a different color, pattern, font, etc. from the other part. and can be used for control information CI.

[0431] [Image processing for input information II] Specifically, the artificial intelligence unit 213 performs image processing on the input information II to obtain one For example, the artificial intelligence unit 213 may extract features from the image of the input information II. The characteristics can be inferred and used as features, such as the age, indoors or outdoors, day or night, etc. The control information for inferring the color tone that is empirically felt to be suitable for the display is then used. Specifically, the color used to express the shading (for example, full color) can be generated. Information specifying the color (e.g., black and white, dark brown, etc.) can be used in the control information CI.

[0432] Specifically, the artificial intelligence unit 213 performs image processing on the input information II to A part of the image can be extracted. For example, a boundary between the extracted part and another part of the image can be created. Specifically, control information CI can be generated that displays a part of the extracted image. It is possible to generate control information CI that displays a rectangle containing the

[0433] [Inference using detected information DS] Specifically, the artificial intelligence unit 213 can generate inferences using the detection information DS. Alternatively, based on inference, the information processing device 200 may be configured to provide a comfortable feeling to the user of the information processing device 200.

[0434] Specifically, based on the illuminance of the environment, the artificial intelligence unit 213 determines whether the display brightness is comfortable. It is possible to generate control information CI that adjusts the brightness of the display so that the user feels that the display is brighter. Alternatively, the artificial intelligence unit 213 may determine whether the sound level is comfortable based on the noise level of the environment. In addition, control information CI for adjusting the volume can be generated.

[0435] The clock signal or timing signal supplied to the control unit 238 included in the display unit 230 or the like can be used as the control information CI. A clock signal or timing signal corresponding to the clock signal can be used as the control information CI.

[0436] <Configuration example 2 of information processing device> For another configuration of the information processing device of one embodiment of the present invention, see FIGS. 20A and 20B. I will explain.

[0437] "program" A program according to one embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps (see FIG. 20A).

[0438] [First Step] In the first step, the settings are initialized (see FIG. 20A (S1)).

[0439] For example, predetermined image information to be displayed at startup and a predetermined mode in which the image information is displayed; and information specifying a predetermined display method for displaying the image information, from the storage unit 212. Specifically, one still image or other moving image information can be used as the predetermined image information. Also, the first mode or the second mode can be used for a predetermined mode.

[0440] [Second step] In the second step, interrupt processing is permitted (see FIG. 20A (S2)). A processing unit that is enabled to process an interrupt can perform the interrupt process in parallel with the main process. The arithmetic unit that has returned from interrupt processing to the main processing passes the results obtained from the interrupt processing to the main processing. This can be reflected in the processing.

[0441] When the counter value is the initial value, the arithmetic unit is caused to perform an interrupt process. When returning from the program, the counter may be set to a value other than the initial value. After starting up, you can always have the interrupt process run.

[0442] [Third Step] In the third step, the predetermined The image information is displayed using this mode or a predetermined display method (see FIG. 20A (S3)). The predetermined mode specifies the mode in which information is displayed, and the predetermined display method displays image information. Also, for example, image information VI can be used to display information. .

[0443] For example, one way of displaying the image information VI can be associated with a first mode. Alternatively, other ways of displaying the image information VI can be associated with the second mode. This allows the display method to be selected based on the selected mode.

[0444] First Mode Specifically, a selection signal is applied to one scanning line at a frequency of 30 Hz or more, preferably 60 Hz or more. The method of providing the display based on the selection signal can be associated with the first mode.

[0445] For example, if a selection signal is supplied at a frequency of 30 Hz or more, preferably 60 Hz or more, a moving image The movement can be displayed smoothly.

[0446] For example, if the image is updated at a frequency of 30 Hz or more, preferably 60 Hz or more, the user's operation The image that changes smoothly in accordance with the user's operation is displayed on the information processing device 200 that the user is operating. It can be shown.

[0447] Second Mode Specifically, the frequency is less than 30 Hz, preferably less than 1 Hz, and more preferably less than once per minute. The method of supplying a selection signal to one scanning line at a time and displaying based on the selection signal is called the second mode. It can be associated with a

[0448] A selection signal at a frequency of less than 30 Hz, preferably less than 1 Hz, and more preferably less than once per minute By supplying the above, it is possible to display a picture with reduced flicker or flicker. Power consumption can be reduced.

[0449] For example, when the information processing device 200 is used as a clock, the frequency is once per second or once per minute. The display can be updated with frequency, etc.

[0450] Incidentally, when a light-emitting element is used as a display element, the light-emitting element is made to emit light in a pulsed manner. Specifically, the organic EL element emits light in a pulsed manner, and image information can be displayed. The afterglow can be used for display. This may shorten the time for driving the light emitting element and reduce power consumption. In this case, heat generation is suppressed, and therefore deterioration of the light-emitting element can be reduced in some cases.

[0451] [Fourth step] In the fourth step, if a termination command is provided, the process proceeds to the fifth step. If not supplied, the selection is made to proceed to the third step (see FIG. 20A (S4)). ).

[0452] For example, the termination command supplied in the interrupt process may be used for the determination.

[0453] [5th ​​step] In the fifth step, the process ends (see FIG. 20A (S5)).

[0454] Interrupt handling The interrupt process comprises the following sixth to eighth steps (see FIG. 20B).

[0455] [Sixth step] In the sixth step, for example, the detection unit 250 is used to detect whether the information processing device 200 is being used. The illuminance of the environment is detected (see FIG. 20B (S6)). The color temperature and chromaticity may be detected.

[0456] [Seventh step] In the seventh step, a display method is determined based on the detected illuminance information (see FIG. 20B). For example, you should decide whether the display brightness is too dark or too bright. Determine.

[0457] If the color temperature or chromaticity of the ambient light is detected in the sixth step, the display The color may be adjusted.

[0458] [Eighth Step] In the eighth step, the interrupt process ends (see FIG. 20B (S8)).

[0459] <Configuration example 3 of information processing device> Another configuration of a data processing device of one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

[0460] FIG. 21A is a flowchart illustrating a program according to one embodiment of the present invention. 20B is a flowchart illustrating an interrupt process different from the interrupt process shown in FIG. .

[0461] The information processing device of the third example configuration changes the mode based on a given event. The fact that the interrupt processing includes a step of Here, we will explain the differences in detail and consider whether a similar configuration can be used. The above explanation will be used where possible.

[0462] Interrupt handling The interrupt process comprises the following sixth to eighth steps (see FIG. 21A).

[0463] [Sixth step] In the sixth step, if a predetermined event is provided, the process proceeds to the seventh step; If the predetermined event is not provided, proceed to the eighth step (see Figure 21A (U6)). For example, you can use whether a specific event was provided within a specific period as a condition. Specifically, it is 5 seconds or less, 1 second or less, or 0.5 seconds or less, preferably 0.1 seconds or less. Therefore, a period longer than 0 seconds can be set as the predetermined period.

[0464] [Seventh step] In the seventh step, the mode is changed (see FIG. 21A (U7)). If you have selected mode 1, select mode 2, and if you have selected mode 2, In this case, select the first mode.

[0465] For example, the display mode can be changed for a part of the area of ​​the display unit 230. Specifically, the display unit 230 includes the drive circuits GDA, GDB, and GDC. The display mode can be changed for the area to which one drive circuit supplies a selection signal ( See Figure 21B).

[0466] For example, the input section 240 in the area overlapping the area where the driver circuit GDB supplies the selection signal is When a specific event is supplied, the driver circuit GDB supplies a selection signal to the display model of the area. (See Figures 21B and 21C.) Specifically, you can change the The driver circuit GDB selects the voltage to be supplied in response to the "tap" event supplied to the touch panel. The frequency of the signals can be changed.

[0467] The signal GCLK is a clock signal that controls the operation of the driver circuit GDB, and the signal PWC Signals PWC1 and PWC2 are pulse width control signals that control the operation of the driver circuit GDB. The circuit GDB outputs a selection signal based on the signal GCLK, the signal PWC1, the signal PWC2, etc. is supplied to the conductive films G2(m+1) to G2(2m).

[0468] This allows, for example, the driver circuits GDA and GDC to supply a selection signal. Alternatively, the driver circuit GDB can provide the selection signal. The driver circuit GDB selects the area without changing the display of the area to which the driver circuit GDC supplies the selection signal. The display of the area to which the select signal is supplied can be updated. can be suppressed.

[0469] [Eighth Step] In the eighth step, the interrupt process is completed (see FIG. 21A (U8)). The interrupt process may be repeatedly executed during the period when the process (2) is being executed.

[0470] 《Specified Events》 For example, "click" and "drag" operations are performed using a pointing device such as a mouse. Events such as "tap" and "drag" are supplied to the touch panel using a finger as a pointer. Events such as "click" or "swipe" can be used.

[0471] Also, for example, the position of the slide bar pointed by the pointer, the speed of the swipe, the speed of the drag, The degree or the like can be used to provide arguments for the command associated with a given event.

[0472] For example, the information detected by the detection unit 250 is compared with a preset threshold value, and the comparison result is can be used for events.

[0473] Specifically, a pressure-sensitive detector that comes into contact with a button or the like that is arranged so that it can be pressed into the housing. etc. can be used in the detection unit 250.

[0474] Commands associated with specific events For example, the termination command may be associated with a predetermined event.

[0475] For example, the "page turning" function is used to switch the display from one image information to another. The "page turn command" can be associated with a specific event. The arguments that determine the page turning speed, etc., used when executing are passed using a specified event. can be given.

[0476] For example, the display position of a part of one image information is moved to display a part of the image information that is continuous with the part. You can associate a "scroll command" to display other parts with a specified event. In addition, it determines the speed at which the display moves when executing the "scroll command." Arguments can be provided with a given event.

[0477] For example, a command to set a display method or a command to generate image information is generated as a predetermined event. It is possible to associate the argument that determines the brightness of the generated image with a specific event. In addition, the argument that determines the brightness of the generated image can be associated with the The determination may be based on the brightness of the environment detected by the 50 .

[0478] For example, information distributed using a push-type service can be acquired using the communication unit 290. An instruction to execute a command can be associated with a given event.

[0479] The qualification to obtain information is determined using the location information detected by the detection unit 250. Specifically, a person who is in a designated classroom, school, conference room, company, building, or other area may This may allow, for example, a school or The information processing device 200 can be used as a textbook or the like by receiving teaching materials distributed in classrooms at universities, etc. (See Figure 19C) Or, you can receive materials distributed in a company conference room and use them in the meeting. It can be used for meeting materials.

[0480] <Configuration example 4 of information processing device> Another configuration of a data processing device of one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

[0481] FIG. 22A is a flowchart illustrating a program according to one embodiment of the present invention. 20B is a flowchart illustrating an interrupt process different from the interrupt process shown in FIG. FIG. 22B is a schematic diagram illustrating the operation of the program shown in FIG. 22A, and FIG. 22C is a schematic diagram illustrating the operation of the program shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a photographed fingerprint.

[0482] Note that the configuration example 4 of the information processing device described with reference to FIG. 22A does not require reference to FIG. 20B. The configuration example explained above differs in the interrupt processing. Based on the image, a step of identifying an area, a step of generating an image, a step of displaying the image, The interrupt process includes steps of taking a picture and then capturing an image. The above description will be used for parts where a similar configuration can be used.

[0483] Interrupt handling The interrupt process comprises steps 6 to 11 (see FIG. 22A).

[0484] [Sixth step] In the sixth step, if a predetermined event is provided, the process proceeds to the seventh step; If the predetermined event is not provided, proceed to step 11 (FIG. 22A (V6) reference).

[0485] For example, the detector 250 can be used to provide a predetermined event. A movement such as lifting an information processing device can be used as a predetermined event. The acceleration sensor or acceleration sensor can be used to detect the movement of the information processing device. Alternatively, a touch sensor can be used to detect contact or proximity of a subject such as a finger. Cut.

[0486] [Seventh step] In the seventh step, the first region SH is identified (see FIG. 22A (V7)).

[0487] For example, when a subject such as a finger touches or approaches the input / output device 220 according to one embodiment of the present invention, The area can be set as the first area SH. Alternatively, the area can be set as the area previously set by the user. can be used for the first region SH.

[0488] Specifically, a finger THM or the like that comes into contact with or is close to the functional panel according to one embodiment of the present invention is detected by a pixel 7. 03(i,j) and then perform image processing to identify the first region SH. (See FIG. 22B).

[0489] For example, the shadows created by the contact or proximity of a subject such as a finger (THM) blocking external light can be captured by this camera. The pixel 703(i, j) of the functional panel according to one embodiment of the present invention is used to take an image, and the image is processed. 1 can be identified.

[0490] Alternatively, the pixel 703(i,j) of the functional panel according to one embodiment of the present invention may be used to detect contact or proximity. The object, such as a finger THM, is illuminated with light, and the light reflected by the object is reflected by the pixel 703(i, j) and then processing the image to identify the first region SH.

[0491] Alternatively, a touch sensor may be used to set the area touched by a subject such as a finger THM as the first area SH. It can be identified.

[0492] [Eighth Step] In the eighth step, a second region and a third region are generated based on the first region SH. For example, an image FI including the first region S is generated (see FIG. 22A (V8) and FIG. 22B). The shape of H is used as the shape of the second region, and the region excluding the first region SH is used as the third region. .

[0493] [9th step] In a ninth step, the image FI is displayed so that the second region overlaps the first region SH. (See Figure 22A (V9) and Figure 22B).

[0494] For example, an image signal is generated from an image FI and supplied to the region 231, and a pixel 703(i,j) Alternatively, during the period when the first selection signal is supplied to G1(i), the generated An image signal is supplied to the conductive film S1g(j) and written to the pixel 703(i,j). Alternatively, the generated image signal can be transmitted to the conductive film S1g(j) and the conductive film S2g(j). and write the enhanced image signal to pixel 703(i,j). The enhanced image signal can be used to display an image with increased brightness.

[0495] As a result, the area 231 touched by the subject such as a finger or the like or the adjacent first area SH Or, the image FI can be displayed on the area where the subject touches the image. The light can be emitted using the element 703(i, j). It can also be used to illuminate subjects such as THM. The user can be prompted to touch or bring a subject such as a finger into proximity with the area.

[0496] [Step 10] In a tenth step, while the image FI is being displayed, the first area SH is touched or brought into proximity. The object is imaged (see FIG. 22A (V10) and FIG. 22B).

[0497] For example, a finger THM or the like located near the area 231 is photographed while being irradiated with light. Specifically, the fingerprint FP of the finger THM in contact with the area 231 can be photographed (see FIG. 22). (see C).

[0498] For example, when an image is displayed on pixel 703(i,j), the supply of the first selection signal is stopped. For example, the supply of the selection signal to the pixel circuit 530G(i,j) can be stopped. In this state, an image can be captured using pixel 703(i,j).

[0499] This allows a subject, such as a finger, that is in contact with or in close proximity to the object to be photographed while being illuminated. Alternatively, an image can be captured during a period when the first selection signal is not being supplied. It is possible to suppress noise during imaging, or obtain a clear image of the fingerprint. Or, an image can be obtained that can be used to authenticate the user. The fingerprint of a finger touching the area 231 can be clearly photographed anywhere in the area 231. As a result, a novel information processing device with excellent convenience and reliability can be provided. do.

[0500] [Step 11] In the eleventh step, the interrupt process ends (see FIG. 22A (V11)).

[0501] Note that this embodiment mode can be appropriately combined with other embodiment modes shown in this specification. .

[0525] Note that this embodiment mode can be appropriately combined with other embodiment modes shown in this specification. .

[0526] For example, in this specification, when it is explicitly stated that X and Y are connected, In this case, X and Y are electrically connected, and X and Y are functionally connected. The case where X and Y are directly connected is also considered to be disclosed in this specification. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the predetermined connection relationships, for example, the connection relationships shown in the drawings or text. Connections other than those shown in the drawings or text are also considered to be disclosed in the drawings or text. do.

[0527] Here, X and Y are the object (for example, a device, an element, a circuit, a wiring, an electrode, a terminal, a conductive film, a layer, etc.). , etc.).

[0528] An example of a direct connection between X and Y is a circuit that allows electrical connection between X and Y. The elements to be considered (e.g., switches, transistors, capacitance elements, inductors, resistance elements, When no external device (such as a diode, display element, light-emitting element, or load) is connected between X and Y, The elements that allow electrical connection between X and Y (e.g., switches, transistors, capacitors) elements, inductors, resistors, diodes, display elements, light-emitting elements, loads, etc.) , X and Y are connected.

[0529] An example of an electrical connection between X and Y is The elements to be considered (e.g., switches, transistors, capacitance elements, inductors, resistance elements, One or more devices (such as diodes, display elements, light-emitting elements, and loads) can be connected between X and Y. It is possible. The switch has a function to control on / off. A switch can be in a conducting state (ON state) or a non-conducting state (OFF state), allowing current to flow. The switch has the function of controlling whether or not the current flows. When X and Y are electrically connected, This includes the case where Y is directly connected.

[0530] An example of a functional connection between X and Y is a function that allows the functional connection between X and Y. Circuits that perform the above functions (for example, logic circuits (inverters, NAND circuits, NOR circuits, etc.), signal conversion conversion circuits (DA conversion circuits, AD conversion circuits, gamma correction circuits, etc.), potential level conversion circuits (voltage power supply circuits (voltage boost circuits, voltage drop circuits, etc.), level shifter circuits that change the signal potential level, etc.) , voltage source, current source, switching circuit, amplifier circuit (which can increase the signal amplitude or current amount, etc.) circuits, operational amplifiers, differential amplifier circuits, source follower circuits, buffer circuits, etc.), signal generation One or more circuits (e.g., memory circuits, control circuits, etc.) can be connected between X and Y. For example, even if another circuit is inserted between X and Y, the signal output from X If X is transmitted to Y, then X and Y are considered to be functionally connected. When X and Y are functionally connected, there is a direct connection between X and Y and a direct connection between X and Y. This also includes the case where the and are electrically connected.

[0531] In addition, if it is explicitly stated that X and Y are electrically connected, are electrically connected (i.e., there is another element or circuit between X and Y) X and Y are functionally connected (i.e., X and Y are functionally connected) and (When there is a functional connection between them via another circuit) and when X and Y are directly connected (i.e., when X and Y are connected without any other element or circuit between them) is considered to be disclosed in the present specification. If it is explicitly stated that it is connected, The same content is considered to be disclosed in the present specification.

[0532] For example, if the source (or first terminal, etc.) of the transistor is connected via Z1 (or (not shown), electrically connected to X, and the drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor is connected to Z 2 (or not), and is electrically connected to Y, or the source of the transistor (or the first terminal, etc.) is directly connected to a part of Z1, and another part of Z1 is directly connected to X. The drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor is directly connected to a part of Z2. and another part of Z2 is directly connected to Y, It is possible to do so.

[0533] For example, "X and Y and the source (or first terminal, etc.) and drain (or second terminal, etc.) of a transistor" The terminals of the transistor (or the first terminal) are electrically connected to each other. 1 terminal, etc.), the drain of the transistor (or the second terminal, etc.), and Y. It can be expressed as "connected to the source (or the first The first terminal of the transistor is electrically connected to X, and the drain of the transistor is electrically connected to the second terminal of the transistor. The transistor source (or first terminal, etc.) is electrically connected to Y, and the transistor source (or first terminal, etc.) is electrically connected to X. The drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor, Y, is electrically connected in this order. " Alternatively, "X is the source (or first terminal, etc.) of the transistor. and the drain (or second terminal, etc.) are electrically connected to Y, and X, the source (or first terminal, etc.) of a transistor, the drain (or second terminal, etc.) of a transistor ), Y is provided in this order of connection. By specifying the order of connections in the circuit configuration using a simple expression method, Distinguish between the source (or first terminal, etc.) and the drain (or second terminal, etc.) of a transistor. The technical scope can be determined by the above.

[0534] Alternatively, for example, "the source (or first terminal, etc.) of a transistor" is electrically connected to X through at least a first connection path, and the first connection path is , and the second connection path is a transistor through a transistor. The source (or first terminal, etc.) of the transistor and the drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor The first connection path is a path via Z1, and the second connection path is a path between the first and second transistors. The drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the capacitor is electrically connected to Y through at least a third connection path. the third connection path does not have the second connection path, and the third connection path The connection path is the path via Z2. The source (or first terminal, etc.) of the resistor is connected to the resistor via Z1 by at least the first connection path. and electrically connected to X, and the first connection path does not have a second connection path; The second connection path has a connection path through a transistor, and (or the second terminal, etc.) is connected to Y via Z2 by at least a third connection path. The third connection path does not have the second connection path. Alternatively, the source (or first terminal, etc.) of the transistor may be at least The first electrical path is electrically connected to X through Z1. The primary path does not have a second electrical path, and the second electrical path is a From the source (or first terminal, etc.) to the drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor The drain (or second terminal, etc.) of the transistor is connected to at least a third The third electrical path is electrically connected to Y through Z2. , does not have a fourth electrical path, and the fourth electrical path is (or second terminal, etc.) to the source (or first terminal, etc.) of the transistor. Using the same expression as these examples, the circuit configuration By defining the connection path in Distinguishing between the first terminal (or the second terminal, etc.) and the drain (or the second terminal, etc.) to determine the technical scope. can be done.

[0535] These representation methods are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these representation methods. , Y, Z1, Z2 are objects (e.g., devices, elements, circuits, wiring, electrodes, terminals, conductive films, layer, etc.).

[0536] In addition, the circuit diagram shows independent components as if they are electrically connected to each other. Even if the components are different, one component may have the functions of multiple components. For example, when a part of the wiring also functions as an electrode, one conductive film functions as both the wiring and the electrode. Therefore, the electrode in this specification has the functions of both components. The term "electromagnetic connection" refers to a case where one conductive film has the functions of multiple components. This also falls within the scope of the above. [Explanation of symbols]
