Claim Text:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a plurality of pixels; a driver circuit; a detection circuit; and a compensation circuit, wherein each of the plurality of pixels comprises a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, wherein each of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel comprises a light-emitting element, a first transistor configured to control a supply of a current to the light-emitting element, and a second transistor configured to control an input of a video signal to a gate of the first transistor, wherein an area of the first sub-pixel is different from an area of the second sub-pixel, wherein one of a source and a drain of the first transistor of the first sub-pixel is electrically connected to the light-emitting element of the first sub-pixel, wherein one of a source and a drain of the first transistor of the second sub-pixel is electrically connected to the light-emitting element of the second sub-pixel, wherein the other of the source and the drain of the first transistor of the first sub-pixel and the other of the source and the drain of the first transistor of the second sub-pixel are electrically connected to a power supply line, wherein a gate of the second transistor of the first sub-pixel and a gate of the second transistor of the second sub-pixel are electrically connected to a same gate signal line, wherein the detection circuit detects a value of a current to the light-emitting element included in a point defective sub-pixel, wherein the compensation circuit generates a compensation signal based on a result obtained by the detection circuit, wherein the driver circuit is configured to drive a pixel having the point defective sub-pixel such that the pixel having the point defective sub-pixel is compensated by increasing an amount of a current to the light-emitting element of the second sub-pixel when the first sub-pixel is the point defective sub-pixel, wherein the detection circuit comprises a resistor, a switching element, a noise-reduction circuit and an analog-digital converter circuit, wherein a first terminal of the resistor is electrically connected to a first terminal of the switching element, wherein a second terminal of the resistor is electrically connected to a second terminal of the switching element, wherein the second terminal of the resistor is electrically connected to the power supply line and an input terminal of the noise-reduction circuit, and wherein an output terminal of the noise-reduction circuit is electrically connected to the input terminal of the analog-digital converter circuit.
