A support for supporting a flexible component is provided. A flexible component support can be folded without decreasing the reliability of the flexible component. The support has a region where two different hinges overlap each other, and bending operation in the region can be performed only in one direction from a flat surface state. Accordingly, even in the case where unintended bending stress is applied to the region in an opposite direction, the flexible component or the support can be protected. In addition, the two hinges can each include position correction mechanism, which enables stable bending operation.

Flexible component support and display device

A highly portable and highly browsable light-emitting device is provided. A light-emitting device that is less likely to be broken is provided. The light-emitting device has a strip-like region having high flexibility and a strip-like region having low flexibility that are arranged alternately. In the region having high flexibility, a light-emitting panel and a plurality of spacers overlap with each other. In the region having low flexibility, the light-emitting panel and a support overlap with each other. When the region having high flexibility is bent, the angle between normals of facing planes of the two adjacent spacers changes according to the bending of the light-emitting panel; thus, a neutral plane can be formed in the light-emitting panel or in the vicinity of the light-emitting panel.

Light-emitting device with circular polarizing plate over bonding layer

A light-emitting device includes a strip-like high flexibility region and a strip-like low flexibility region arranged alternately in a direction. The high flexibility region includes a flexible light-emitting panel. The low flexibility region includes the light-emitting panel and a support panel having a lower flexibility than that of the light-emitting panel and overlapping with the light-emitting panel. It is preferable that the light-emitting panel include an external connection electrode and that a length in the direction of a low flexibility region A that overlaps with the external connection electrode be longer than a length in the direction of a low flexibility region B that is closest to the region A.

Light-emitting device

A semiconductor device having favorable display quality is provided. The semiconductor device is provided with a display portion, a line-of-sight sensor portion, a control portion, and an arithmetic portion. The line-of-sight sensor portion has a function of obtaining first information showing a direction of a user's line of sight. The arithmetic portion has a function of determining a first region including a gaze point of the user on the display portion with use of the first information and a function of increasing a definition of an image displayed on the first region. Light emitted from the display portion may be used to obtain the first information showing the direction of the line of sight.

Semiconductor device and electronic device

An electronic device including a large display region and with improved portability is provided. An electronic device with improved reliability is provided. An information processing device includes a first film, a panel substrate, and at least a first housing. The panel substrate has flexibility and a display region, and the first film has a visible-light-transmitting property and flexibility. The first housing includes a first slit, the panel substrate includes a region positioned between the first film and a second film, the first slit has a function of storing the region, and one or both of the panel substrate and the first film can slide along the first slit.

Information processing device, display device, and electronic device

An angle adjustment device capable of being kept at a desired angle is provided. The angle adjustment device can fix and keep the relative positions of the first base component and the second base component, and a support with a combination of the angle adjustment device and components such as a flat plate can keep the entire body in a shape opened on a plane, a folded shape, a shape kept at a desired angle, or the like. In addition, the angle adjustment device can make a bending movement in one direction, which prevents bending in a reverse direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an accidental bending movement of an apparatus including the angle adjustment device to prevent breakage or the like of the apparatus.
