Abstract

An object is to provide a display device that performs accurate display. A circuit is formed using a transistor that includes an oxide semiconductor and has a low off-state current. A precharge circuit or an inspection circuit is formed in addition to a pixel circuit. The off-state current is low because the oxide semiconductor is used. Thus, it is not likely that a signal or voltage is leaked in the precharge circuit or the inspection circuit to cause defective display. As a result, a display device that performs accurate display can be provided.

Claims (25)

1. A method of operation of a display device comprising:

a pixel portion including a plurality of pixels; and

a circuit,

wherein the circuit includes a plurality of first transistors,

wherein each of the plurality of pixels includes a second transistor and a display element,

wherein gates of the plurality of first transistors are electrically connected to each other,

wherein gates of the plurality of second transistors are electrically connected to each other,

wherein first terminals of each of the plurality of first transistors are electrically connected to a wiring,

wherein second terminals of each of the plurality of first transistors are electrically connected to the pixel portion,

wherein each of the plurality of pixels is electrically connected to the wiring via one of the plurality of the first transistors,

wherein a predetermined potential is supplied to the wiring,

wherein a frame period comprises a first period and a second period longer than the first period,

wherein in the first period a first high voltage is supplied to the gates of the second transistors,

wherein in the second period a first low voltage is supplied to the gates of the second transistors,

wherein the first period comprises a third period and a fourth period following the third period,

wherein during the third period a second high voltage is supplied to the gates of the first transistors,

wherein during the fourth period a second low voltage is supplied to the gates of the first transistor, and

wherein during the fourth period a potential corresponding to a video signal is supplied to the pixel.

2. The method of operation of the display device according to claim 1 , wherein during the second period the potential corresponding to the video signal is supplied to the display element after supplying the potential corresponding to the video signal to the pixel is stopped.

3. The method of operation of the display device according to claim 1 , wherein during the second period the potential corresponding to the video signal is not supplied to the pixel.

4. The method of operation of the display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of the plurality of first transistors and the second transistor includes an oxide semiconductor, and

wherein the oxide semiconductor is an intrinsic semiconductor.

5. The method of operation of the display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display device is a liquid crystal display device.

6. The method of operation of the display device according to claim 1 , wherein a duration of the third period is longer than or equal to 1% and shorter than or equal to 20% of a duration of the second period.
