Abstract
An input/output device is provided. The input/output device includes a first pixel electrode, a second pixel electrode, a first common electrode, a second common electrode, a liquid crystal, a first insulating film, a second insulating film, and a transistor. The first common electrode can serve as one electrode of a sensor element. The second common electrode can serve as the other electrode of the sensor element. The transistor includes a first gate, a second gate, and a semiconductor layer. The pixel electrode, the common electrodes, and the second gate are positioned on different planes. The second gate contains one or more kinds of metal elements included in the semiconductor layer. The second gate, the pixel electrode, and the common electrodes preferably contain one or more kinds of metal elements included in the semiconductor layer.
