Abstract

A novel display device or the like in which a transistor connected to a scan line has small gate capacitance is provided. A novel display device or the like in which a scan line has low resistance is provided. A novel display device or the like in which pixels can be arranged with high density is provided. A novel display device or the like that can be manufactured without an increase in cost is provided. In a transistor including a first gate electrode and a second gate electrode, the first gate electrode is formed using a metal material with low resistance and the second gate electrode is formed using a metal oxide material that can reduce oxygen vacancies in an oxide semiconductor layer. The first gate electrode is connected to the scan line, and the second gate electrode is connected to a wiring to which a constant potential is supplied.
