Abstract

To provide a semiconductor device or display system. To provide a semiconductor device or display system that can display stereoscopic images. A signal generation unit has a function of, with the use of artificial intelligence, obtaining information on a scene of an image and information on a depth of the image and correcting image data on the basis of the information so that a stereoscopic effect is emphasized. An image signal obtained by the correction of the image data is supplied to a display unit, so that a stereoscopic image can be displayed on a display region.
