Abstract

A display apparatus capable of image capturing with high sensitivity is provided. The display apparatus is configured to include first to third switches, a first transistor, a second transistor, and a light-emitting/receiving element. The first switch is electrically connected to a gate of the first transistor. The second switch is positioned between one of a source and a drain of the first transistor and one electrode of the light-emitting/receiving element. The third switch is positioned between the one electrode of the light-emitting/receiving element and a gate of the second transistor. The other of the source and the drain of the first transistor is supplied with a first potential. The other electrode of the light-emitting/receiving element is supplied with a second potential. The light-emitting/receiving element has a function of emitting light of a first color and a function of receiving light of a second color.
