Publication number: 20200126510Abstract: A display system with high display quality in which display unevenness is reduced is provided. The display system includes a processing unit and a display portion. The processing unit generates second image data by using first image data. The display portion displays an image on the basis of the second image data. The processing unit includes three layers. The first image data is supplied to the first layer. The first image data contains a plurality of pieces of data. The plurality of pieces of data each correspond to any one of the plurality of pixels. The first layer generates first arithmetic data by making the number of data corresponding to one pixel larger than the number of the first image data by using the first image data. The second layer generates second arithmetic data by multiplying the first arithmetic data by a weight coefficient.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2018Publication date: April 23, 2020Applicant: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masataka SHIOKAWA, Natsuko TAKASE, Hideaki OKAMOTO, Kensuke YOSHIZUMI, Daiki NAKAMURA

Patent number: 10606541Abstract: A display device or an electronic device with high portability and browsability is provided. A display device which includes two display panels that overlap with each other and in which the area of a portion where the two display panels overlap with each other is variable is provided. The larger the area where the two display panels overlap with each other is, the smaller the display device becomes. The first display panel includes a first region that performs display. The second display panel includes a second region that performs display, and a third region that is adjacent to the second region and transmits visible light. When the third region overlaps with the side of a surface which performs display of the first region, display can be performed using a seamless large display region.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2016Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yuichi Yanagisawa, Nozomu Sugisawa, Natsuko Takase
