     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the description below, and it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that modes and details disclosed herein can be modified in various ways. Further, the present invention is not construed as being limited to description of the embodiment. In describing structures of the present invention with reference to the drawings, common reference numerals are used for the same portions in different drawings. Note that the same hatched pattern is applied to similar parts, and the similar parts are not especially denoted by reference numerals in some cases. 
     Note that the size, the thickness of films (layers), or regions in drawings is sometimes exaggerated for simplicity. 
     Note that the ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” in this specification are used for convenience and do not denote the order of steps or the stacking order of layers. Therefore, for example, the term “first” can be replaced with the term “second”, “third”, or the like as appropriate. In addition, the ordinal numbers in this specification and the like do not correspond to the ordinal numbers which specify one embodiment of the present invention in some cases. 
     Note that in this specification, the description “A has a shape such that an end portion extends beyond an end portion of B” may indicate, for example, the case where at least one of end portions of A is positioned on an outer side than at least one of end portions of B in a top view or a cross-sectional view. Thus, the description “A has a shape such that an end portion extends beyond an end portion of B” can be alternately referred to as the description “one of end portions of A is positioned on an outer side than one of end portions of B”, for example in a top view. 
     &lt;Operation of Input Device&gt; 
     The following shows operation of an input device of one embodiment of the present invention. 
       FIG. 1  is a flow chart showing steps up to and including steps of converting and outputting positional data input to the input device of one embodiment of the present invention. The input device includes a region a and a region b which can sense the positional data. 
     First, positional data A input to the region a is obtained (see Step S 101 ). Note that positional data includes X-coordinate positional data (horizontal positional data) and Y-coordinate positional data (vertical positional data) in this specification. Further, in this specification, positional data includes a plurality of coordinates in some cases. For example, input positional data straddling over a plurality of coordinates may be regarded as one positional data. Furthermore, positional data which are input separately to a plurality of coordinates may be regarded as one positional data or a plurality of positional data. 
     Next, positional data −B input to the region b is obtained (see Step S 102 ). Note that the region a and the region b have different regions. Note that the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the region a with respect to the origin and the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the region b with respect to the origin can be compared. 
     Next, positional data −B is obtained by inversion of the positional data B (see Step S 103 ). Note that “inversion of positional data” means inverting positional data horizontally and/or vertically with respect to the center of the region. 
     Next, the positional data A and the positional data −B are compared, and positional data A −B which is logical conjunction of the positional data A and the positional data −B is obtained (see Step S 104 ). In other words, coordinates where the positional data A and the positional data −B overlap with each other are extracted and regarded as new positional data. 
     Next, whether the value of the positional data A −B is zero or not is determined (see Step S 105 ). When the positional data A −B is zero, the operation returns to Step S 101 . When the value of the positional data A −B is not zero, a signal in accordance with the positional data A −B is output (see Step S 106 ). Note that “the value of the positional data A −B is zero” means that the positional data A and the positional data −B do not have the same coordinates. 
     Note that the signal in accordance with the positional data A −B may be output as one or a plurality of coordinates or as labeled pattern data. For example, as shown in  FIG. 3 , Step S 106  may be performed through Step S 121  of labeling positional data and making pattern data and Step S 122  of outputting the pattern data. 
     Further,  FIG. 2  shows a flow chart different from that in  FIG. 1 , in which positional data input to the input device of one embodiment of the present invention is converted and output. The input device includes the region a and a region c which can sense positional data. 
     First, the positional data A input to the region a is obtained (see Step S 111 ). 
     Next, positional data C input to the region c is obtained (see Step S 112 ). Note that the region a and the region c have different regions. Note that the x-coordinate or the y-coordinate of the region a with respect to the origin and the x-coordinate or the y-coordinate of the region c with respect to the origin can be compared. 
     Next, the positional data A and the positional data C are compared, and positional data A C which is logical conjunction of the positional data A and the positional data C is obtained (see Step S 113 ). 
     Next, whether the value of the positional data A C is zero or not is determined (see Step S 114 ). When the value of the positional data A C is zero, the operation returns to Step S 111 . When the positional data A C is not zero, a signal in accordance with the positional data A C is output (see Step S 115 ). 
       FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2  are different from each other only in whether one of the positional data is inverted or not. Accordingly, as for the flow chart shown in  FIG. 2 , the description of  FIG. 1  can be referred to. 
     Thus, the positional data input to the input device of one embodiment of the present invention can be converted and output. 
     &lt;Example of Input Device&gt; 
     Next, an example of an input device of one embodiment of the present invention is described. 
       FIG. 4A  is a perspective view of an input device  150  including an input portion  150   a  and an input portion  150   b . In the input device  150 , the input portion  150   a  and the input portion  150   b  are provided so as to face each other. Note that as illustrated in  FIG. 4B , the input portion  150   a  includes a region  100   a  on its surface facing the inner side of the input device  150 . Further, the input portion  150   b  includes a region  100   b  on its surface facing the inner side of the input device  150 . As illustrated in  FIG. 4C , the input portion  150   a  includes a region  100   c  on its surface facing the outer side of the input device  150 . Further, the input portion  150   b  includes a region  100   d  on its surface facing the outer side of the input device  150 . Note that a circuit  130   a  which controls a sensor or the like may be connected to the input portion  150   a . Further, a circuit  130   b  which controls a sensor or the like may be connected to the input portion  150   b.    
     For example, as illustrated in  FIG. 5A , in the input device  150 , with the use of the input portion  150   a  and the input portion  150   b , false sensing can be reduced. Here, a method for sensing positional data of an object  120  provided between the input portion  150   a  and the input portion  150   b  is described. 
     The region  100   a  of the input portion  150   a  obtains positional data  124   a  corresponding to the shape of the object  120  (see  FIG. 5B ). This corresponds to Step S 101  in  FIG. 1 . Similarly, the region  100   b  of the input portion  150   b  obtains positional data  124   b  corresponding to the shape of the object  120  (see  FIG. 5C ). This corresponds to Step S 102  in  FIG. 1 . 
     Next, logical conjunction of the positional data  124   a  and the positional data  124   b  may be obtained. Note that as illustrated in  FIG. 5C , depending on a method for obtaining the origin (denoted by O in the figure) and coordinates, the left and the right of the positional data  124   b  are reverse to those of the positional data  124   a  like a mirror in some cases. In this case, conversion into positional data which can be compared by mirror-inverting the positional data is preferable. This corresponds to Step S 103  in  FIG. 1 . 
       FIG. 5D  illustrates positional data  122  which is logical conjunction of the positional data  124   a  and the mirror-inverted positional data  124   b . This corresponds to Step S 104  in  FIG. 1 . 
     Next, it is confirmed whether the value of the positional data  122  is not zero. This corresponds to Step S 105  in  FIG. 1 . 
     Then, a signal in accordance with the positional data  122  is output. This corresponds to Step S 106  in  FIG. 1 . 
     In this manner, comparative verification is performed on two kinds of positional data to obtain one positional data, whereby false sensing of the input device can be reduced. 
     Alternatively, as illustrated in  FIG. 6A , for example, false sensing can be reduced with the use of only the input portion  150   a  in the input device  150 . Here, a method for sensing positional data of a region interposed between an object  120   a  and an object  120   b  is described. 
     The region  100   a  of the input portion  150   a  obtains positional data  134   a  corresponding to the shape of the object  120   a  (see  FIG. 6B ). This corresponds to Step S 111  in  FIG. 2 . Similarly, the region  100   c  of the input portion  150   a  obtains positional data  134   b  corresponding to the shape of the object  120   b  (see  FIG. 6C ). This corresponds to Step S 112  in  FIG. 2 . 
       FIG. 6D  illustrates positional data  132  which is logical conjunction of the positional data  134   a  and the positional data  134   b . This corresponds to Step S 113  in  FIG. 2 . 
     Next, it is confirmed whether the value of the positional data  132  is not zero. This corresponds to Step S 114  in  FIG. 2 . 
     Then, a signal in accordance with the positional data  132  is output. This corresponds to Step S 115  in  FIG. 2 . 
     In this manner, comparative verification is performed on two kinds of positional data to obtain one positional data, whereby false sensing of the input device can be reduced. 
     Although description is not made here, the region  100   d  of the input portion  150   b  may be used. 
     Note that the input portion  150   a  and the input portion  150   b  of the input device  150  may be combined. For example, as illustrated in  FIG. 7A , part of the flexible input device  150  may serve as the input portion  150   a , and another part of the flexible input device  150  may serve as the input portion  150   b . In this case, when the input device  150  is folded as illustrated in  FIG. 7B , the region  100   a  of the input portion  150   a  and the region  100   b  of the input portion  150   b  face each other as illustrated in  FIG. 4B  or the like. The flexibility of the input device  150  enables a variety of designs of the input device  150 . Further, the lightweight and durable input device  150  can be achieved. Note that even when the input device  150  is folded, a folded portion is not clear in some cases. For example, the case where the folded portion smoothly changes can also be called the state where it is folded. 
     Further, in some cases, for example, when the input device  150  is in an unfolded state as illustrated in  FIG. 7A , there is no need to distinguish the input portion  150   a  and the input portion  150   b  from each other. Furthermore, in some cases, for example, when the input device  150  is folded as illustrated in  FIG. 7B , the input device  150  may have a function of sensing a folded position and distinguishing the input portion  150   a  and the input portion  150   b  from each other depending on the folded position. 
     Similarly, as illustrated in  FIG. 8A , the input device  150  may have one mountain fold and one valley fold. Further, as illustrated in  FIG. 8B , the input device  150  may have two mountain folds. Furthermore, although not illustrated, the input device  150  may have more folds. The input device  150  may include more input portions similar to the input portion  150   a  and the input portion  150   b  by increasing the number of folds. 
     &lt;Display Device&gt; 
       FIGS. 9A and 9B  illustrate examples of modules each including a display device and the above-described input device. 
       FIG. 9A  is a perspective view of a module  200  including a display device  160  and the input device  150 . The display device  160  includes a display region  162  on its upper surface. The input device  150  is provided on the display region  162  side. Note that the input device  150  may be provided on the side opposite to the display region  162  side in some cases. 
       FIG. 9B  is a perspective view of the module  200  including the display device  160 , the input device  150 , and an input device  152 . The display device  160  includes the display region  162  on its upper surface. The input device  150  is provided on the display region  162  side. Further, the input device  152  is provided on the side opposite to the display region  162  side. Note that for the input device  152 , refer to the description of the input device  150 . Further, the input device  150  and the input device  152  may be regarded as one input device. Furthermore, the input device  150  and the input device  152  may be integrated. 
     Note that the module  200  may include a flexible region. The flexible region of the module  200  enables a variety of designs of the module  200 . Further, the lightweight and durable module  200  can be achieved. 
     The module  200  can use a signal output from the input device  150  in accordance with a content displayed on the display region  162 . Therefore, the module  200  is suitable for a variety of applications. 
       Touch Panel  1     
     A structure of a touch panel of one embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to  FIGS. 12A and 12B  and  FIGS. 13A to 13C . Although the description is made on a touch sensor below, the following description may be applied to a non-contact sensor. 
       FIG. 12A  is a perspective view of a touch panel  500  exemplified in this embodiment. For simplicity, only main components are illustrated, and some components are not illustrated.  FIG. 12B  is a perspective view of the touch panel  500 . 
       FIGS. 13A to 13C  are cross-sectional views of the touch panel  500  taken along line X 1 -X 2  in  FIG. 12A . 
     The touch panel  500  includes a display portion  501  and a touch sensor  595  (see  FIG. 12B ). Further, the touch panel  500  includes a substrate  510 , a substrate  570 , and a substrate  590 . Note that the substrate  510 , the substrate  570 , and the substrate  590  each have flexibility. 
     The display portion  501  includes the substrate  510  and a plurality of wirings  511 . Note that the plurality of wirings  511  have a function of supplying signals to a plurality of pixels over the substrate  510 . The plurality of wirings  511  is led to a peripheral portion of the substrate  510 , and part of the plurality of wirings  511  forms a terminal  519 . The terminal  519  is electrically connected to an FPC  509 ( 1 ). 
     The substrate  590  includes the touch sensor  595  and a plurality of wirings  598  electrically connected to the touch sensor  595 . The plurality of wirings  598  is led to a peripheral portion of the substrate  590 , and part of the plurality of wirings  598  forms a terminal. The terminal is electrically connected to an FPC  509 ( 2 ). Note that in  FIG. 12B , electrodes, wirings, and the like of the touch sensor  595  provided on the back side of the substrate  590  (the side facing the substrate  510 ) are indicated by solid lines for clarity. 
     As the touch sensor  595 , for example, a capacitive touch sensor can be used. Examples of the capacitive touch sensor are a surface capacitive touch sensor and a projected capacitive touch sensor. Examples of the projected capacitive touch sensor include a self-capacitive touch sensor and a mutual capacitive touch sensor, which differ mainly in the driving method. The use of a mutual capacitive touch sensor is preferable because multiple points can be sensed simultaneously. 
     An example of using a projected capacitive touch sensor is described below with reference to  FIG. 12B . Note that a variety of sensors that can sense the closeness or the contact of a sensing target such as a finger, can be used. 
     The projected capacitive touch sensor  595  includes electrode  591  and electrode  592 . The electrode  591  is electrically connected to any of the plurality of wirings  598 , and the electrode  592  is electrically connected to any of the other wirings  598 . 
     The electrode  592  has a shape of a plurality of quadrangles arranged in one direction with one corner of a quadrangle connected to one corner of another quadrangle as illustrated in  FIGS. 12A and 12B . The electrodes  591  each have a quadrangular shape and are arranged in a direction intersecting with the direction in which the electrode  592  extend. A wiring  594  electrically connects two electrodes  591  between which the electrode  592  is positioned. The intersecting area of the electrode  592  and the wiring  594  is preferably as small as possible. Such a structure allows a reduction in the area of a region where the electrodes are not provided, reducing unevenness in transmittance. As a result, unevenness in luminance of light from the touch sensor  595  can be reduced. 
     Note that the shapes of the electrodes  591  and the electrodes  592  are not limited to the above-mentioned shapes and can be any of a variety of shapes. For example, the plurality of electrodes  591  may be provided so that space between the electrodes  591  are reduced as much as possible, and a plurality of electrodes  592  may be provided with an insulating layer sandwiched between the electrodes  591  and the electrodes  592  and may be spaced apart from each other to form a region not overlapping with the electrodes  591 . In that case, between two adjacent electrodes  592 , it is preferable to provide a dummy electrode which is electrically insulated from these electrodes, whereby the area of a region having a different transmittance can be reduced. 
     The structure of the touch sensor  595  is described with reference to  FIG. 13A . The touch sensor  595  includes the substrate  590 , the electrodes  591  and the electrodes  592  alternately provided on the substrate  590 , an insulating layer  593  covering the electrodes  591  and the electrodes  592 , and the wiring  594  that electrically connects the adjacent electrodes  591  to each other. Furthermore, the touch panel  500  includes a resin layer  597  for attaching the substrate  590  to the substrate  570  so that the touch sensor  595  overlaps with the display portion  501 . 
     The electrodes  591  and the electrodes  592  are formed using a light-transmitting conductor. As a light-transmitting conductor, a conductive oxide such as indium oxide, indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, zinc oxide, or zinc oxide to which aluminum is added, or zinc oxide to which gallium is added can be used. Note that a film including graphene may be used as well. The film including graphene can be formed, for example, by reducing a film containing graphene oxide. As a reducing method, a method with application of heat or the like can be employed. 
     The electrodes  591  and the electrodes  592  may be formed by depositing a light-transmitting conductor on the substrate  590  by a sputtering method and then removing an unnecessary portion by any of various patterning techniques such as photolithography. 
     For the insulating layer  593 , for example, an organic resin such as acrylic or epoxy, an inorganic resin having a siloxane bond, and an inorganic insulator such as silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, or aluminum oxide can be used. 
     Openings reaching the electrodes  591  are formed in the insulating layer  593 , and the wiring  594  electrically connects the adjacent electrodes  591 . A light-transmitting conductor can be favorably used as the wiring  594  because the aperture ratio of the touch panel can be increased. Moreover, a conductor with higher conductivity than the conductivities of the electrodes  591  and  592  can be favorably used as the wiring  594  because electric resistance can be reduced. 
     One electrode  592  extends in one direction, and the plurality of electrodes  592  are provided in the form of stripes. 
     The wiring  594  intersects with the electrode  592 . 
     Adjacent electrodes  591  are provided with one electrode  592  provided therebetween. The wiring  594  electrically connects the adjacent electrodes  591 . 
     Note that the plurality of electrodes  591  are not necessarily arranged in the direction orthogonal to one electrode  592  and may be arranged to intersect with one electrode  592  at an angle of less than 90 degrees. 
     One wiring  598  is electrically connected to any of the electrodes  591  and  592 . Part of the wiring  598  serves as a terminal. For the wiring  598 , a metal such as aluminum, gold, platinum, silver, nickel, titanium, tungsten, chromium, molybdenum, iron, cobalt, copper, or palladium or an alloy containing any of these metals can be used. 
     Note that an insulating layer that covers the insulating layer  593  and the wiring  594  may be provided to protect the touch sensor  595 . 
     Furthermore, a connection layer  599  electrically connects the wiring  598  to the FPC  509 ( 2 ). 
     As the connection layer  599 , any of various anisotropic conductive films (ACF), anisotropic conductive pastes (ACP), and the like can be used. 
     The resin layer  597  has a light-transmitting property. For example, a thermosetting resin or an ultraviolet curable resin can be used; specifically, a resin such as an acrylic resin, a urethane resin, an epoxy resin, or a resin having a siloxane bond can be used. 
     The display portion  501  includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix. Each of the pixels includes a display element and a pixel circuit for driving the display element. 
     In this embodiment, an example of using an organic electroluminescent element that emits white light as a display element is described; however, the display element is not limited to such element. 
     For example, organic electroluminescent elements that emit light of different colors may be included in sub-pixels so that the light of different colors can be emitted from the respective sub-pixels. 
     Other than organic electroluminescent elements, any of various display elements such as display elements (electronic ink) that perform display by an electrophoretic method, an electrowetting method, or the like; MEMS shutter display elements; optical interference type MEMS display elements; and liquid crystal elements can be used. 
     Furthermore, this embodiment can be used in a transmissive liquid crystal display, a transflective liquid crystal display, a reflective liquid crystal display, a direct-view liquid crystal display, or the like. In the case of a transflective liquid crystal display or a reflective liquid crystal display, some of or all of pixel electrodes function as reflective electrodes. For example, some or all of pixel electrodes are formed to contain aluminum, silver, or the like. In such a case, a memory circuit such as an SRAM can be provided under the reflective electrodes, leading to lower power consumption. A structure suitable for employed display elements can be selected from among a variety of structures of pixel circuits. 
     In the display portion, an active matrix method in which an active element is included in a pixel or a passive matrix method in which an active element is not included in a pixel can be used. 
     In an active matrix method, as an active element (a non-linear element), not only a transistor but also various active elements (non-linear elements) can be used. For example, a metal insulator metal (MIM), a thin film diode (TFD), or the like can also be used. Since such an element has few number of manufacturing steps, manufacturing cost can be reduced or yield can be improved. Alternatively, since the size of the element is small, the aperture ratio can be improved, so that power consumption can be reduced or higher luminance can be achieved. 
     As a method other than the active matrix method, the passive matrix method in which an active element (a non-linear element) is not used can also be used. Since an active element (a non-linear element) is not used, the number of manufacturing steps is small, so that manufacturing cost can be reduced or the yield can be improved. Alternatively, since an active element (a non-linear element) is not used, the aperture ratio can be improved, so that power consumption can be reduced or higher luminance can be achieved, for example. 
     As the substrate  510  and the substrate  570 , a flexible substrate is preferably used. Further, as the substrate  510  and the substrate  570 , it is preferable to use a substrate with which passage of impurities is inhibited. For example, it is preferable to use a substrate with a water vapor transmission rate of 10 −5  [g/m 2 ·day] or less, preferably 10 −6  [g/m 2 ·day] or less. Note that the substrate  510  and the substrate  570  preferably have a coefficient of linear expansion substantially equal to each other. For example, the coefficient of linear expansion of the substrates is preferably lower than or equal to 1×10 −1 /K, further preferably lower than or equal to 5×10 −5 /K, and still further preferably lower than or equal to 1×10 −5 /K. 
     For example, the substrate  510  is a stack body in which a flexible substrate  510   b , a barrier film  510   a  that prevents diffusion of impurities to light-emitting elements, and a resin layer  510   c  that attaches the barrier film  510   a  to the substrate  510   b  are stacked. For example, polyester, polyolefin, polyamide (e.g., nylon, aramid), polyimide, polycarbonate, or a resin having an acrylic bond, a urethane bond, an epoxy bond, or a siloxane bond can be used for the resin layer  510   c . The substrate  570  is a stack body in which a flexible substrate  570   b , a barrier film  570   a  that prevents diffusion of impurities to the light-emitting elements, and a resin layer  570   c  that attaches the barrier film  570   a  to the substrate  570   b  are stacked. 
     A sealant  560  attaches the substrate  570  to the substrate  510 . The sealant  560  has higher refractive index than the air. Furthermore, in the case of extracting light to the sealant  560  side, it may be preferable that the sealant  560  have higher refractive index than the air because total reflection of light at an interface or the like between the sealant  560  and another layer can be reduced. The pixel circuits and the light-emitting elements (e.g., a light-emitting element  550 R) are provided between the substrate  510  and the substrate  570 . 
     A pixel includes a sub-pixel  502 R, and the sub-pixel  502 R includes a light-emitting module  580 R. 
     The sub-pixel  502 R includes the light-emitting element  550 R and the pixel circuit that can supply electric power to the light-emitting element  550 R and includes the transistor  502   t . Furthermore, the light-emitting module  580 R includes the light-emitting element  550 R and an optical element (e.g., a coloring layer  567 R). Note that the light-emitting element  550 R includes a lower electrode, an upper electrode, and a layer containing a light-emitting organic compound between the lower electrode and the upper electrode. 
     The light-emitting module  580 R includes the coloring layer  567 R on the light extraction side. The coloring layer transmits light of a particular wavelength and is, for example, a layer that selectively transmits light of red, green, or blue color. Note that in another sub-pixel, a region that transmits light emitted from the light-emitting element as it is may be provided as well. In the case where the sealant  560  is provided on the light extraction side, the sealant  560  has a region in contact with the light-emitting element  550 R and the coloring layer  567 R. The coloring layer  567 R is positioned in a region overlapping with the light-emitting element  550 R. Accordingly, part of light emitted from the light-emitting element  550 R passes through the coloring layer  567 R and is emitted to the outside of the light-emitting module  580 R as indicated by an arrow in  FIG. 13A . 
     The display portion  501  includes a light-blocking layer  567 BM on the light extraction side. The light-blocking layer  567 BM is provided so as to surround the coloring layer (e.g., the coloring layer  567 R). 
     The display portion  501  includes an anti-reflective layer  567   p  positioned in a region overlapping with pixels. As the anti-reflective layer  567   p , a circular polarizing plate can be used, for example. The display portion  501  includes an insulator  521 . Note that the insulator  521  covers the transistor  502   t . Further, the insulator  521  can be used as a layer for planarizing unevenness caused by the pixel circuits. A stacked film including a layer that can prevent diffusion of impurities can be used as the insulator  521 . This can prevent the reliability of the transistor  502   t  or the like from being lowered by diffusion of impurities. 
     The display portion  501  includes the light-emitting elements (e.g., the light-emitting element  550 R) over the insulator  521 . The display portion  501  includes, over the insulator  521 , a partition wall  528  that overlaps with an end portion of the lower electrode. In addition, a spacer that controls the distance between the substrate  510  and the substrate  570  is provided on the partition wall  528 . 
     A scan line driver circuit  503   g ( 1 ) includes a transistor  503   t  and a capacitor  503   c . Note that the driver circuit can be formed in the same process and over the same substrate as those of the pixel circuits. 
     The display portion  501  includes the wiring  511  through which signals can be supplied. Further, part of the wiring  511  forms the terminal  519 . Note that the FPC  509 ( 1 ) through which a signal such as an image signal or a synchronization signal can be supplied is electrically connected to the terminal  519 . Note that a printed wiring board (PWB) may be attached to the FPC  509 ( 1 ). 
     Specifically, a metal element selected from aluminum, chromium, copper, tantalum, titanium, molybdenum, tungsten, nickel, yttrium, zirconium, silver, and manganese; an alloy including any of the above-described metal elements; an alloy including any of the above-described metal elements in combination; or the like can be used. In particular, one or more elements selected from aluminum, chromium, copper, tantalum, titanium, molybdenum, and tungsten are preferably included. In particular, an alloy of copper and manganese is suitably used in microfabrication with the use of a wet etching method. For example, a two-layer structure in which titanium is stacked over aluminum, a two-layer structure in which titanium is stacked over titanium nitride, a two-layer structure in which tungsten is stacked over titanium nitride, a two-layer structure in which tungsten is stacked over tantalum nitride or tungsten nitride, a three-layer structure in which titanium, aluminum, and titanium are stacked in this order, or the like can be used. Specifically, a stacked structure in which an alloy or a nitride containing one or more elements selected from titanium, tantalum, tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, neodymium, and scandium is stacked over aluminum can be used. Alternatively, a light-transmitting conductor containing indium oxide, tin oxide, or zinc oxide may be used. 
     Any of various kinds of transistors can be used in the display portion  501 . 
     A structure in which bottom-gate transistors are used in the display portion  501  is illustrated in  FIGS. 13A and 13B . For example, a semiconductor containing an oxide semiconductor, an organic semiconductor, amorphous silicon or the like may be used in the transistor  502   t  and the transistor  503   t  illustrated in  FIG. 13A . For an oxide semiconductor, for example, an oxide containing one or more of indium, gallium, and zinc may be used. Alternatively, a semiconductor containing polycrystalline silicon that is obtained by crystallization process with laser light or the like can be used in the transistor  502   t  and the transistor  503   t  illustrated in  FIG. 13B . 
     A structure in the case of using top-gate transistors in the display portion  501  is illustrated in  FIG. 13C . For example, a semiconductor containing polycrystalline silicon, single crystal silicon that is transferred from a single crystal silicon substrate, or the like can be used in the transistor  502   t  and the transistor  503   t  illustrated in  FIG. 13C . 
       Touch Panel  2     
     Another structure of a touch panel of one embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to  FIGS. 14A to 14C . 
       FIGS. 14A to 14C  are cross-sectional views of a touch panel  500 B. The touch panel  500 B is different from the touch panel  500  illustrated in  FIGS. 12A and 12B ,  FIGS. 13A to 13C , and the like in that the display portion  501  displays received image data on the side where the transistors are provided and that the touch sensor is provided on the substrate  510  side of the display portion. Here, different structures are described in detail, and the above description is referred to for the other similar structures. 
     The display portion  501  includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix. Each of the pixels includes a display element and a pixel circuit for driving the display element. 
     A pixel includes the sub-pixel  502 R, and the sub-pixel  502 R includes the light-emitting module  580 R. The sub-pixel  502 R includes the light-emitting element  550 R and the pixel circuit that can supply electric power to the light-emitting element  550 R and includes the transistor  502   t . The light-emitting module  580 R includes the light-emitting element  550 R and an optical element (e.g., the coloring layer  567 R). The light-emitting element  550 R includes a lower electrode, an upper electrode, and a layer containing a light-emitting organic compound between the lower electrode and the upper electrode. 
     The light-emitting module  580 R includes the coloring layer  567 R on the light extraction side. The coloring layer transmits light of a particular wavelength and is, for example, a layer that selectively transmits light of red, green, or blue color. Note that in another sub-pixel, a region that transmits light emitted from the light-emitting element as it is may be provided as well. 
     The coloring layer  567 R is positioned in a region overlapping with the light-emitting element  550 R. The light-emitting element  550 R illustrated in  FIG. 14A  emits light to the side where the transistor  502   t  is provided. Accordingly, part of light emitted from the light-emitting element  550 R passes through the coloring layer  567 R and is emitted to the outside of the light-emitting module  580 R as indicated by an arrow in  FIG. 14A . 
     The display portion  501  includes the light-blocking layer  567 BM on the light extraction side. The light-blocking layer  567 BM is provided so as to surround the coloring layer (e.g., the coloring layer  567 R). The display portion  501  includes the insulator  521 . Note that the insulator  521  covers the transistor  502   t . Further, the insulator  521  can be used as a layer for planarizing unevenness caused by the pixel circuits. A stacked film including a layer that can prevent diffusion of impurities can be used as the insulator  521 . This can prevent the decrease of the reliability of the transistor  502   t  or the like due to diffusion of impurities from the coloring layer  567 R. 
     The touch sensor  595  is provided on the substrate  510  side of the display portion  501  (see  FIG. 14A ). 
     The resin layer  597  is provided between the substrate  510  and the substrate  590  and attaches the touch sensor  595  to the display portion  501 . 
     Any of various kinds of transistors can be used in the display portion  501 . 
     A structure in which bottom-gate transistors are used in the display portion  501  is illustrated in  FIGS. 14A and 14B . For example, a semiconductor containing an oxide semiconductor, amorphous silicon, or the like can be used in the transistor  502   t  and the transistor  503   t  illustrated in  FIG. 14A . In the transistors, a channel formation region may be sandwiched between upper and lower gate electrodes, in which case variations in characteristics of the transistors can be prevented and thus the reliability can be increased. For example, a semiconductor containing polycrystalline silicon or the like may be used in the transistor  502   t  and the transistor  503   t  illustrated in  FIG. 14B . 
     A structure in which top-gate transistors are used in the display portion  501  is illustrated in  FIG. 14C . For example, a semiconductor containing polycrystalline silicon, a transferred single crystal silicon, or the like may be used in the transistor  502   t  and the transistor  503   t  in  FIG. 14C . 
       Touch Panel  3     
     Another structure of a touch panel of one embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to  FIG. 15  and  FIGS. 16A to 16C . 
       FIG. 15  is a projection view illustrating a structure of a touch panel  700 TP of one embodiment of the present invention. Note that for convenience of explanation, part of a sensor unit  602  and part of a pixel  702  are enlarged. 
       FIG. 16A  is a cross-sectional view illustrating a cross-sectional structure of the touch panel  700 TP of one embodiment of the present invention along the line Z 1 -Z 2  in  FIG. 15 .  FIGS. 16B and 16C  are each a cross-sectional view illustrating a modification example in which part of the structure in  FIG. 16A  is replaced. 
     The touch panel  700 TP includes a display portion  700  and an input portion  600  overlapping with the display portion  700  (see  FIG. 15 ). The input portion  600  includes a plurality of sensor units  602  arranged in a matrix. Furthermore, the input portion  600  includes a selection signal line G 1 , a control line RES, and the like each of which is electrically connected to the plurality of sensor units  602  arranged in a row direction (denoted by an arrow R in the figure). In addition, the input portion  600  includes a signal line DL and the like each of which is electrically connected to the plurality of sensor units  602  arranged in a column direction (denoted by an arrow C in the figure). Note that the sensor unit  602  includes a sensor circuit. The sensor circuit is electrically connected to the selection signal line G 1 , the control line RES, the signal line DL, and the like. 
     For the sensor circuit, a transistor and/or a sensor element can be used, for example. As a sensor element, for example, a conductor and a capacitor electrically connected to the conductor can be used. Further, a capacitor and a transistor electrically connected to the capacitor can be used. 
     A capacitor  650  including an insulating layer  653 , and a first electrode  651  and a second electrode  652  between which the insulating layer  653  is sandwiched can be used (see  FIG. 16A ). 
     Furthermore, the sensor unit includes a plurality of window portions  667  arranged in a matrix. The window portions  667  may transmit visible light and a light-blocking layer BM may be provided between the plurality of window portions  667 . In addition, the sensor unit includes coloring layers so as to overlap with the window portions  667 . The coloring layer transmits light of a predetermined color. Note that the coloring layer can also be called a color filter. For example, a coloring layer CFB transmitting blue light, a coloring layer CFG transmitting green light, or a coloring layer CFR transmitting red light can be used. Furthermore, a coloring layer transmitting yellow light or a coloring layer transmitting white light may be used. 
     The display portion  700  includes the plurality of pixels  702  arranged in a matrix. The pixels  702  are arranged so as to overlap with the window portions  667  of the input portion  600 . 
     The pixels  702  may be provided with higher density than the sensor units  602 . 
     The touch panel  700 TP includes the window portions  667  which transmit visible light, the input portion  600  including the plurality of sensor units  602  arranged in a matrix, the display portion  700  including the plurality of pixels  702  overlapping with the window portions  667 , and the coloring layers provided between the window portions  667  and the pixels  702 . Furthermore, each sensor unit is provided with a switch which can reduce interference in another sensor unit. 
     Thus, a sensing signal sensed by each sensor unit can be supplied as sensing data together with positional data of each sensor unit. Furthermore, sensing data associated with positional data of a pixel for displaying an image can be supplied. Furthermore, when the signal line and the sensor unit which does not supply sensing data are turned off, interference in the sensor unit which supplies sensing data can be reduced. As a result, a novel touch panel  700 TP with high convenience or high reliability can be provided. 
     For example, the input portion  600  of the touch panel  700 TP can sense sensing data and supply the sensing data together with positional data. Specifically, a user of the touch panel  700 TP can make various gestures (e.g., tap, drag, swipe, and pinch in) using a finger or the like touching the input portion  600  as a pointer. 
     The input portion  600  can sense a finger or the like which is located close to or in contact with the input portion  600  and supply sensing data including the sensed position, track, and the like. 
     An arithmetic device determines whether or not the supplied data satisfies predetermined conditions on the basis of a program or the like and executes instructions associated with a predetermined gesture. Thus, a user of the input portion  600  supplies a predetermined gesture using a finger or the like and can make the arithmetic device execute instructions associated with the predetermined gesture. 
     For example, the input portion  600  of the touch panel  700 TP can select one sensor unit from the plurality of sensor units which can supply sensing data to one signal line and make the one signal line and the other sensor units other than the selected sensor unit turn off. Thus, interference in the selected sensor unit, which is caused by the non-selected sensor units, can be reduced. Specifically, interference in the sensor element of the selected sensor unit, which is caused by the sensor elements of the non-selected sensor units, can be reduced. 
     For example, in the case of using, as a sensor element, a capacitor and a conductor electrically connected to one electrode of the capacitor, it is possible to reduce interference in potential of the conductor in the selected sensor unit, which is caused by potential of the conductors in the non-selected sensor units. 
     Thus, the touch panel  700 TP can drive the sensor unit and supply the sensing data without depending on the size of the touch panel  700 TP. For example, the touch panel  700 TP with various sizes can be a touch panel of various sizes, for example, a hand-held touch panel or a touch panel that can be used in a white board. 
     Furthermore, the touch panel  700 TP can be folded and unfolded. In addition, even in the case where interference in the selected sensor unit, which is caused by the non-selected sensor unit, is different between the touch panel  700 TP in the folded state and the touch panel  700 TP in the unfolded state, the touch panel  700 TP can drive the sensor unit and supply the sensing data without depending on the state of the touch panel  700 TP. 
     Furthermore, display data V can be supplied to the display portion  700  of the touch panel  700 TP. For example, the arithmetic device can supply the display data V. 
     In addition to the above-described structure, the touch panel  700 TP can also employ the following structure. 
     The input portion  600  of the touch panel  700 TP may include a driver circuit  603   g  or a driver circuit  603   d . The input portion  600  of the touch panel  700 TP may be electrically connected to a flexible printed circuit FPC 1 . The display portion  700  of the touch panel  700 TP may include a scan line driver circuit  703   g , a wiring  711 , or a terminal  719 . The display portion  700  of the touch panel  700 TP may be electrically connected to a flexible printed circuit FPC 2 . 
     Further, a protection layer  670  which prevents damage and protects the touch panel  700 TP may be included. For example, a ceramic coat layer or a hard coat layer can be used as the protection layer  670 . Specifically, a layer containing aluminum oxide or an UV curable resin can be used. Further, an anti-reflective layer  670   p  which that weakens the intensity of external light reflected by the touch panel  700 TP can be used. Specifically, a circularly polarizing plate can be used. 
     Components of the touch panel  700 TP are described below. Note that these components cannot be clearly distinguished and one component also serves as another component or includes part of another component in some cases. 
     For example, the input portion  600  including the coloring layers overlapping with the plurality of window portions  667  also serves as a color filter. 
     Furthermore, for example, the touch panel  700  in which the input portion  600  overlaps the display portion  700  serves as the input portion  600  as well as the display portion  700 . 
     The touch panel  700 TP includes the input portion  600  and the display portion  700 . 
     The input portion  600  includes the sensor unit  602 , the selection signal line G 1 , the signal line DL, and a base material  610 . Note that the input portion  600  may be formed in such a manner that a film for forming the input portion  600  is deposited over the base material  610  and processed. Alternatively, the input portion  600  may be formed in such a manner that part of the input portion  600  is formed over another base material and transferred to the base material  610 . 
     The sensor unit  602  senses an object which is located close to or in contact with the sensor unit  602  and supplies sensing data. For example, the sensor unit  602  senses capacitance, illuminance, magnetic force, electric waves, pressure, or the like and supplies data based on the sensed physical quantity. Specifically, a capacitor, a photoelectric conversion element, a magnetic sensing element, a piezoelectric element, a resonator, or the like can be used as the sensing element. Further, the sensor unit  602  senses a change in capacitance between the sensor unit  602  and the object which is located close to or in contact with the sensor unit  602 . Specifically, a conductor and a sensor circuit electrically connected to the conductor may be used. 
     Note that when an object having a dielectric constant higher than that of the air, such as a finger, is located close to a conductor in the air, the capacitance between the finger and the conductor changes. A sensing data can be supplied by sensing this capacitance change. Specifically, a sensor circuit including a conductor and a capacitor one of electrodes of which is connected to the conductor can be used in the sensor unit  602 . For example, the change in capacitance causes charge distribution between the capacitor and the capacitance between the finger and the conductor, leading to a change in voltage between both electrodes of the capacitor. A sensing signal which is the voltage change can be used as the sensing data. Specifically, the voltage between the electrodes of the capacitor  650  changes when an object is close to the conductor which is electrically connected to one of the electrodes of the capacitor  650  (see  FIG. 16A ). 
     The sensor unit  602  includes a switch which can be turned on or off in accordance with a control signal. For example, a transistor M 12  can be used as a switch. A transistor which amplifies a sensing signal can be used for the sensor unit  602 . Furthermore, a transistor which can be manufactured through the same process as that of the transistor M 12  can be used as a transistor which amplifies a sensing signal and a switch. Accordingly, the input portion  600  can be provided through a simplified manufacturing process. Note that the description of the transistor  502   t  and the like illustrated in  FIGS. 13A to 13C  and the like is referred to for the transistors. 
     The input portion  600  includes the selection signal line G 1 , the control line RES, the signal line DL, and the like. 
     The driver circuit  603   g  can supply a selection signal at a predetermined timing, for example. Specifically, the driver circuit  603   g  supplies selection signals to the selection signal lines G 1  in a predetermined order. Further, any of various circuits can be used as the driver circuit  603   g . For example, a shift register, a flip flop circuit, a combination circuit, or the like can be used. 
     The driver circuit  603   d  supplies sensing data on the basis of a sensing signal. Any of various circuits can be used as the driver circuit  603   d . For example, a circuit which can serve as a source follower circuit or a current mirror circuit by electrical connection with the sensor circuit provided in the sensor unit can be used as the driver circuit  603   d . Further, an analog/digital converter circuit which converts a sensing signal into a digital signal may be included. 
     There is no particular limitation on the base material  610  as long as the base material  610  has heat resistance high enough to withstand a manufacturing process and a thickness and a size which can be used in a manufacturing apparatus. When a flexible base material is used for the base material  610 , the input portion  600  can be folded or unfolded. Note that in the case where the input portion  600  is provided on a side where the display portion  700  performs display, a light-transmitting base material is used as the base material  610 . 
     For the base material  610 , an organic material, an inorganic material, a composite material of an organic material and an inorganic material, or the like can be used. For example, an inorganic material such as glass, a ceramic, or a metal can be used for the base material  610 . Specifically, non-alkali glass, soda-lime glass, potash glass, crystal glass, or the like can be used for the base material  610 . Specifically, a metal oxide film, a metal nitride film, a metal oxynitride film, or the like can be used for the base material  610 . For example, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, an alumina film, or the like can be used for the base material  610 . For example, an organic material such as a resin, a resin film, or plastic can be used for the base material  610 . Specifically, a resin film or resin plate of polyester, polyolefin, polyamide, polyimide, polycarbonate, an acrylic resin, or the like can be used for the base material  610 . For example, a composite material such as a resin film to which a thin glass plate or a film of an inorganic material is attached can be used as the base material  610 . For example, a composite material formed by dispersing a fibrous or particulate metal, glass, inorganic material, or the like into a resin film can be used as the base material  610 . For example, a composite material formed by dispersing a fibrous or particulate resin, organic material, or the like into an inorganic material can be used as the base material  610 . 
     A single-layer material or a stacked-layer material in which a plurality of layers are stacked can be used for the base material  610 . For example, a stacked-layer material including a base material and an insulating layer that prevents diffusion of impurities contained in the base material can be used for the base material  610 . Specifically, a stacked-layer material in which glass and one or a plurality of films that prevents diffusion of impurities contained in the glass and that are selected from a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, a silicon oxynitride film, and the like are stacked can be used for the base material  610 . Alternatively, a stacked-layer material in which a resin and a film that prevents diffusion of impurities permeating the resin, such as a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, or a silicon oxynitride film are stacked can be used for the base material  610 . Specifically, a stack body including a flexible base material  610   b , a barrier film  610   a  that prevents diffusion of impurities, and a resin layer  610   c  that attaches the base material  610   b  and the barrier film  610   a  can be used (see  FIG. 16A ). 
     The flexible printed circuit FPC 1  supplies a timing signal, a power supply potential, or the like and is supplied with a sensing signal. 
     The display portion  700  includes the pixels  702 , scan lines, the signal lines, and a base material  710  (see  FIG. 15 ). Note that the display portion  700  may be formed in such a manner that films for forming the display portion  700  are deposited over the base material  710  and the films are processed. Alternatively, the display portion  700  may be formed in such a manner that part of the display portion  700  is formed over another base material and the part is transferred to the base material  710 . 
     The pixel  702  includes a sub-pixel  702 B, a sub-pixel  702 G, and a sub-pixel  702 R, and each sub-pixel includes a display element and a pixel circuit for driving the display element. 
     The pixel circuit includes a transistor  702   t , for example. 
     The display portion  700  includes an insulator  721  covering the transistor  702   t . The insulator  721  can be used as a layer for planarizing unevenness due to the pixel circuit. A stacked film including a layer that can prevent diffusion of impurities can be used as the insulator  721 . This can prevent the reliability of the transistor  702   t  or the like from being lowered by diffusion of impurities. 
     The light-emitting module  780 R includes the coloring layer CFR on the light extraction side. The coloring layer transmits light of a particular wavelength and is, for example, a layer that selectively transmits light of red, green, or blue color. Note that other sub-pixels may be provided so as to overlap with the window portions, which are not provided with the coloring layers, so that light from the light-emitting element can be emitted without passing through the coloring layers. 
     The coloring layer CFR is positioned in a region overlapping with the light-emitting element  750 R. Accordingly, part of light emitted from the light-emitting element  750 R passes through the coloring layer CFR and is emitted to the outside of the light-emitting module  780 R in the direction indicated by an arrow in  FIG. 16A . 
     The light-blocking layer BM is located so as to surround the coloring layer (e.g., the coloring layer CFR). 
     Note that in the case where a sealant  760  is provided on the light extraction side, the sealant  760  may be in contact with the light-emitting element  750 R and the coloring layer CFR. 
     A lower electrode is provided over the insulator  721 . A partition wall  728  which is provided with an opening portion overlapping with the lower electrode is included. Note that part of the partition wall  728  overlaps with an end portion of the lower electrode. A layer containing a light-emitting organic compound is held between the lower electrode and the upper electrode, so that a light-emitting element (e.g., the light-emitting element  750 R) is formed. The pixel circuit supplies electric power to the light-emitting element. 
     In addition, a spacer that controls a gap between the base material  610  and the base material  710  is provided over the partition wall  728 . 
     In the case of a transflective liquid crystal display or a reflective liquid crystal display, some of or all of pixel electrodes function as reflective electrodes. For example, some or all of pixel electrodes are formed to contain aluminum, silver, or the like. Furthermore, a memory circuit such as an SRAM can be provided under the reflective electrodes, leading to lower power consumption. A structure suitable for employed display elements can be selected from among a variety of structures of pixel circuits. 
     A flexible base material can be used as the base material  710 . For example, a base material similar to the base material that can be used as the base material  610  can be used as the base material  710 . Note that in the case where the base material  710  does not need a light-transmitting property, for example, a non-light-transmitting base material such as SUS or aluminum can be used. For example, a stack body including a flexible base material  710   b , a barrier film  710   a  that prevents diffusion of impurities, and a resin layer  710   c  that attaches the barrier film  710   a  and the base material  710   b  can be favorably used for the base material  710  (see  FIG. 16A ). 
     The sealant  760  attaches the base material  610  and the base material  710 . The sealant  760  has a refractive index higher than that of the air. Furthermore, in the case of extracting light to the sealant  760  side, it may be preferable that the sealant  760  have higher refractive index than the air because total reflection of light at an interface or the like between the sealant  760  and another layer can be reduced. The pixel circuits and the light-emitting elements (e.g., the light-emitting element  750 R) are provided between the base material  710  and the base material  610 . 
     The scan line driver circuit  703   g  supplies a selection signal. The scan line driver circuit  703   g  includes a transistor  703   t  and a capacitor  703   c . Note that a transistor which can be formed in the same process and over the same base material as those of the pixel circuit can be used in the driver circuit. 
     The display portion  700  includes wirings such as scan lines, signal lines, and power supply lines.

       FIG. 10  illustrates an example of an operating device  210  including the input device  150  and a transmitting portion  154 . Note that the operating device includes a controller, a remote controller, a game controller, and the like in its category. The operating device  210  does not necessarily include the transmitting portion  154 . 
     The transmitting portion  154  has a function of transmitting a signal input to the input device  150  of the operating device  210 . For example, the transmitting portion  154  can transmit a signal to a receiver (not illustrated) by radio or the like. Note that a signal may be transmitted through a wire. 
     For example, as illustrated in  FIG. 10 , the operating device  210  can be held with a left hand  220   a  and a right hand  220   b . A signal can be output from the input device  150  by the above-described method or the like. 
     Note that the operating device  210  may include a flexible region. The flexible region of the operating device  210  enables a variety of designs of the operating device  210 . Further, the lightweight and durable operating device  210  can be achieved. 
     The operating device  210  may include a display region, a memory device, and a processor. Furthermore, the operating device  210  may be used as a game machine. 
       FIGS. 11A to 11C  illustrate examples of a game machine  300  including the operating device  210 . 
       FIG. 11A  illustrates an example in which a ring-shaped object like a rubber band is extended with the thumb and forefinger of a left hand  322   a  and the forefinger of a right hand  322   b . For example, when the thumb and forefinger of the left hand  322   a  are disengaged from the object which is extended to its full length, an operation that the object flies while shrinking can be achieved. Note that the game machine  300  illustrated in  FIG. 11A  or the like may include a speaker  370 L, a speaker  370 R, an external connection terminal  372 , a microphone  374 , an antenna  376 , and a processor  378 . 
       FIG. 11B  illustrates an example in which a bow is shot. When the bow is drawn with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand  322   b  and the thumb and forefinger of the right hand  322   b  are disengaged from the bow, an operation that the bow is shot and the like can be achieved. 
       FIG. 11C  illustrates an example of pinball. When a spring is drawn with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand  322   b  and the thumb and forefinger of the right hand  322   b  are disengaged from the spring, an operation that a ball flies out and the like can be achieved. 
     Thus, the use of the operating device of one embodiment of the present invention enables a game machine or the like having unique operability to be provided. Furthermore, the input device of one embodiment of the present invention makes little false sensing, and thus is suitable for a game machine which requires high sensing accuracy.

For example, when an information device of one embodiment of the present invention is used, in an e-book reader, the Web, or the like, an operation that a page is turned or returned can be performed without the use of the thumb by the sensing method illustrated in  FIGS. 5A to 5D . That is, the thumb can be used only for holding the information device. Further, lock release by sensing on an unexposed surface on return from a sleep mode or the like leads to easy and safe operation return. 
     Furthermore, a clock, a wristwatch, a bracelet, an anklet, a pendant, glasses (for both eyes and for one eye), a ring, a card, and the like, each including the input device, the display device, the module, the operating device, and/or a game machine of one embodiment of the present invention are also included in the category of the electronic device of one embodiment of the present invention.
