Display device and portable terminal
First Claim
1. A portable terminal comprising:
- a battery for supplying a first DC power for driving a part of or the entire circuits;
a resonant circuit comprising a coil and a capacitor for inducing AC power by bringing the resonant circuit into a resonant state, the coil and the capacitor being connected in parallel;
a power source circuit for generating a second DC power for driving a part of or the entire circuits by rectifying the AC power; and
a selector circuit for selecting the first DC power or the second DC power,wherein the selector circuit selects the first DC power when the resonant circuit is not in the resonant state and selects the second DC power when the resonant circuit is in the resonant state.

Abstract
In order to increase the continuous operating time of a display device driven by a battery or the like, and a portable information terminal using the same, the volume and weight of the battery are increased. Thus, there arises a trade-off between the increased capacity of the battery and the portability of the device/terminal. Therefore, the invention provides a display device with portability ensured, which is capable of operating continuously for long periods and a portable information terminal using the same. In the display device, TFTs and an RFID tag are formed over the same insulating substrate. The RFID tag detects signals from a reader/writer, and generates DC power based on the signals. While the RFID tag is detecting signals, the display device is driven by the DC power generated in the RFID tag.
