Abstract

A display apparatus with low power consumption is provided. The display apparatus includes an adder circuit and a pixel having a function of adding data, and the adder circuit has a function of adding data supplied from a source driver. The pixel has a function of adding data supplied from the adder circuit. Thus, in the pixel, a voltage several times higher than the output voltage of the source driver can be generated and supplied to a display device. With such a structure, the output voltage of the source driver can be reduced, so that a display apparatus with low power consumption can be achieved.
