Abstract

A display device whose change in chromaticity is small and grayscale controllability is high is provided. The display device can turn on and turn off a light-emitting device by PAM and PWM control (a pulse width control involving changes in amplitude). The display device writes the same input signal (data potential) to a first node and a second node to turn on the light-emitting device in accordance with a potential of the first node and generate a pulse signal in accordance with a potential of the second node. The potential of the first node can be reset in accordance with the generated pulse signal. Therefore, the light-emitting device can emit light for a desired period with a desired emission intensity.
