When a digital video signal inputted to a latch circuit is Hi electric
potential, undesirably a current flows continuously for one horizontal
period at maximum, and this causes a great increase in power consumption
of a semiconductor device. Therefore an object of the present invention
is to provide a display device in which power consumption can be reduced
by minimizing occurrence of the current path during the circuit
operation, as well as a driving method. The present invention provides a
semiconductor device in which two outputs, a non-inverted output and an
inverted output, are obtained when a digital video signal is inputted and
therefore occurrence of the current path can be minimized in a downstream
buffer driven by these signals. Furthermore, a semiconductor device with
reduced power consumption is provided by using the structure described
above.
