Abstract
An object is to reduce degradation of display quality due to variation in luminance of light-emitting elements, which is caused by variation in voltage because of wiring resistance of current supply lines, and to improve the display quality. In a voltage program period, a terminal serving as a source of a transistor for driving an EL element is electrically connected to a first wiring to which a first potential is supplied. In a light-emitting period, the terminal serving as the source of the driving transistor is electrically connected to a second wiring to which a second potential is supplied. Accordingly, voltage between a gate terminal and the source terminal of the driving transistor can be held without being adversely affected by wiring resistance of the current supply lines.
