Abstract

To provide a highly browsable data processing device or a highly portable data processing device, a data processing device including the following is devised: an input/output unit provided with a display portion which can be folded and unfolded and a sensor portion that can sense the folded and unfolded states of the display portion and can supply data on fold, and an arithmetic unit that stores a program for executing different processing depending on the data on fold.

Claims (43)

1. A data processing device comprising:

a display portion being foldable and having a first region, a second region being adjacent to the first region, and a third region being adjacent to the second region,

wherein each of the first region, the second region, and the third region comprises a light-emitting element,

wherein when the display portion is folded to face inward, a part of the display portion which does not face a user of the data processing device is configured to stop displaying,

wherein the part of the display portion includes at least the second region,

wherein the display portion comprises:

a first substrate having flexibility;

a first adhesive layer over the first substrate;

a transistor over the first adhesive layer;

an insulating layer over the transistor;

a lower electrode of a light-emitting element over the insulating layer;

a partition having a region overlapping with a first part of the lower electrode;

a layer containing a light-emitting organic compound, the layer overlapping with a second part of the lower electrode;

an upper electrode of the light-emitting element over the layer;

a photodiode below the light-emitting element;

a coloring layer over the upper electrode;

a second adhesive layer over the coloring layer; and

a second substrate having flexibility, and

wherein the photodiode is not overlapped with the light-emitting element, the partition, and the coloring layer.

2. The data processing device according to claim 1 , wherein one of a source and a drain of the transistor is electrically connected to the lower electrode through a conductive layer.

3. The data processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the photodiode does not overlap with a channel formation region of the transistor.

4. A data processing device comprising:

a display portion being foldable and having a first region, a second region being adjacent to the first region, and a third region being adjacent to the second region,

wherein each of the first region, the second region, and the third region comprises a light-emitting element,

wherein when the display portion is folded to face inward, a part of the display portion which does not face a user of the data processing device is configured to stop displaying,

wherein the part of the display portion includes at least the second region,

wherein the display portion comprises:

a first substrate having flexibility;

a first adhesive layer over the first substrate;

a transistor over the first adhesive layer;

an insulating layer over the transistor;

a lower electrode of a light-emitting element over the insulating layer;

a partition having a region overlapping with a first part of the lower electrode;

a layer containing a light-emitting organic compound, the layer overlapping with a second part of the lower electrode;

an upper electrode of the light-emitting element over the layer;

a photodiode below the light-emitting element;

a coloring layer over the upper electrode;

a second adhesive layer over the coloring layer; and

a second substrate having flexibility,

wherein the photodiode is not overlapped with the light-emitting element, the partition, and the coloring layer, and

wherein the light-emitting element is configured to emit light to an outside of the second substrate through the coloring layer.

5. The data processing device according to claim 4 , wherein one of a source and a drain of the transistor is electrically connected to the lower electrode through a conductive layer.

6. The data processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the photodiode does not overlap with a channel formation region of the transistor.
