Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A semiconductor device including a large display portion with improved portability is provided. The display device includes a first display panel, a second display panel, and an adhesive layer. The area of the second display panel is larger than the area of the first display panel. The first display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a reflective liquid crystal element and a first transistor each positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate. The second display panel includes a first resin layer having flexibility, a second resin layer having flexibility, and a light-emitting element and a second transistor each positioned between the first resin layer and the second resin layer. The liquid crystal element has a function of reflecting light toward the second substrate side. The light-emitting element has a function of emitting light toward the second resin layer side. The first substrate and part of the second resin layer are bonded to each other with the adhesive layer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A display device comprising: a first display panel; a second display panel; and an adhesive layer, wherein an area of the second display panel is larger than an area of the first display panel, wherein the first display panel comprises: a first substrate; a second substrate; a reflective liquid crystal element and a first transistor each positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the second display panel comprises: a first resin layer having flexibility; a second resin layer having flexibility; and a light-emitting element and a second transistor each positioned between the first resin layer and the second resin layer, wherein the reflective liquid crystal element is configured to reflect light toward a second substrate side, wherein the light-emitting element is configured to emit light toward a second resin layer side, and wherein the first substrate and part of the second resin layer are bonded to each other with the adhesive layer. 2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second display panel comprises a first display portion and a second display portion, and wherein a display portion of the first display panel overlaps with the first display portion of the second display panel. 3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the first display portion and the second display portion included in the second display panel share a wiring. 4. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising an input device over the first display panel. 5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a semiconductor layer of the first transistor and a semiconductor layer of the second transistor comprise a metal oxide. 6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate and the second substrate included in the first display panel are glass substrates. 7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting element included in the second display panel is configured to emit light toward a first resin layer side. 8. A display device comprising: a first display panel; a second display panel; and an adhesive layer, wherein the first display panel comprises: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal element and a first transistor each positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a resin on an end portion, wherein the second display panel comprises: a first resin layer having flexibility; a second resin layer having flexibility; and a light-emitting element and a second transistor each positioned between the first resin layer and the second resin layer, wherein the liquid crystal element is configured to reflect light toward a second substrate side, wherein the light-emitting element is configured to emit light toward a second resin layer side, and wherein the first substrate and part of the second resin layer are bonded to each other with the adhesive layer. 9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the second display panel comprises a first display portion and a second display portion, and wherein a display portion of the first display panel overlaps with the first display portion of the second display panel. 10. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein the first display portion and the second display portion included in the second display panel share a wiring. 11. The display device according to claim 8 , further comprising an input device over the first display panel. 12. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein a semiconductor layer of the first transistor and a semiconductor layer of the second transistor comprise a metal oxide. 13. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the first substrate and the second substrate included in the first display panel are glass substrates. 14. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the light-emitting element included in the second display panel is configured to emit light toward a first resin layer side.
