Abstract

One object is to provide a new electronic device which is configured so that a user can read data regardless of a location, input data by directly touching a keyboard displayed on a screen or indirectly touching the keyboard with a stylus pen or the like, and use the input data. A first transistor electrically connected to a reflective electrode and a photo sensor are included over one substrate. A touch-input button displayed on a first screen region of the display portion is displayed as a still image, and a video signal is output so that a moving image is displayed on a second screen region of the display portion. A video signal processing portion supplying different signals between the case where a still image is displayed on the display portion and the case where a moving image is displayed on the display portion is included.

Claims

1. A display device comprising:

a display portion; and

a scan line driver circuit electrically connected to the display portion,

wherein a clock signal is supplied to the scan line driver circuit,

wherein the display portion is configured such that a first image is displayed in a first display region while a second image is displayed in a second display region,

wherein the first image and the second image are different,

wherein the display portion is configured such that input is performed by touching the second image, and

wherein one frame period comprises a period during which supply of the clock signal and a start pulse signal are not input to the scan line driver circuit while the second image is not updated.

2. The display device according to claim 1, further comprising a video signal processing portion supplying different signals between when the first image is displayed on the first display region and when the second image is displayed on the second display region.

3. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the first display region and the second display region each comprises a liquid crystal element.

4. The display device according to claim 1,

wherein the second display region displays a touch-input button as a still image, and

wherein the first display region displays a moving image in response to a video signal.

5. A display device comprising:

a display portion; and

a scan line driver circuit electrically connected to the display portion,

wherein a clock signal is supplied to the scan line driver circuit,

wherein the display portion is configured such that a first image is displayed in a first display region while a second image is displayed in a second display region,

wherein the first image and the second image are different,

wherein the display portion is configured such that input is performed by touching the second image,

wherein one frame period comprises a period during which supply of the clock signal and a start pulse signal are not input to the scan line driver circuit while the second image is not updated,

wherein the display portion comprises a pixel comprising a transistor comprising an oxide semiconductor in a channel formation region, and

wherein the oxide semiconductor comprises indium, gallium, and zinc.

6. The display device according to claim 5, further comprising a video signal processing portion supplying different signals between when the first image is displayed on the first display region and when the second image is displayed on the second display region.

7. The display device according to claim 5, wherein the first display region and the second display region each comprises a liquid crystal element.

8. The display device according to claim 5,

wherein the second display region displays a touch-input button as a still image, and

wherein the first display region displays a moving image in response to a video signal.

9. The display device according to claim 5, wherein an off-state current of the transistor is less than or equal to 1×
