Abstract

A display device has an NTSC ratio of higher than or equal to 80% and a contrast ratio of higher than or equal to 500 and includes a display portion. In the display portion, a pixel is provided at a resolution of greater than or equal to 80 ppi, and the pixel includes a light-emitting module capable of emitting light with a spectral line half-width of less than or equal to 60 nm. Further, the light emission of the light-emitting module is raised to a desired luminance with a gradient of greater than or equal to 0 in response to an input signal within a response time of longer than or equal to 1 μs and shorter than 1 ms.
