Patent ID: 8791929

Claim:
A method for driving a semiconductor device comprising a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, a fourth transistor, a fifth transistor, a capacitor element, a display element, a first wiring, and a second wiring, comprising: in a first step, establishing a conducting state between the first wiring and a first electrode of the capacitor element through the first transistor, the second transistor and the fourth transistor when the third transistor and the fifth transistor are in off states; in a second step, establishing a conducting state between the second wiring and the first electrode of the capacitor element through the first transistor, the third transistor and the fourth transistor when the second transistor and the fifth transistor are in off states; and in a third step, establishing a conducting state between the second wiring and the display element through the first transistor, the third transistor and the fifth transistor when the second transistor and the fourth transistor are in off states, wherein a first terminal of the first transistor is directly connected to the second transistor and the third transistor, wherein the second transistor is electrically connected to the first wiring, wherein the third transistor is electrically connected to the second wiring, wherein the fourth transistor is electrically connected to the first electrode of the capacitor element and a second terminal of the first transistor, wherein the fifth transistor is electrically connected to the display element and the second terminal of the first transistor, and wherein a gate of the first transistor is electrically connected to the first electrode of the capacitor element.
