Semiconductor device, touch panel, and electronic device
First Claim
1. A semiconductor device comprising:
- a first wiring;
a second wiring;
a first circuit; and
a second circuit,wherein the first wiring has a function of transmitting a video signal to a pixel,wherein the first circuit is electrically connected to the second wiring,wherein the first circuit has a function of sensing a change in capacitance between the first wiring and the second wiring,wherein the second circuit is electrically connected to the first wiring,wherein the second circuit is capable of switching between a function of outputting the video signal and a function of outputting a driving signal for sensing the change in capacitance, andwherein the first circuit is configured to sense an information by the first wiring and the second wiring.

Abstract
A source line through which a video signal is transmitted also serves as a driving electrode of a touch sensor. To perform display, a video signal is transmitted to the source line. To sense the touch, a driving signal is transmitted to the source line. A circuit for transmitting the video signal and the driving signal to the source line has a structure in which a period for transmitting the driving signal is added in the wiring through which the digital video signal is transmitted and the output to the source line is switched by using a switching circuit. Alternatively, the circuit has a structure in which a period for transmitting the driving signal is added in a wiring through which a latch signal is transmitted and the output to the source line is switched.
