    Abstract: A novel correction method for a display apparatus is provided. A correction circuit of the display apparatus obtains offset corresponding to a current flowing through a second subpixel when a first subpixel is not lit. The correction circuit of the display apparatus obtains, for each pixel, correction output data, obtained by correcting, with the offset, data corresponding to a current flowing through each of the second subpixels in sequentially supplying correction video data to the first subpixels and stores the correction video data and the correction output data corresponding to the correction video data in a memory circuit. The correction circuit of the display apparatus calculates coefficients obtained when a relation between the correction video data and the correction output data corresponding to the correction video data is approximated by a quadratic expression and stores the coefficients in the memory circuit. The correction circuit of the display apparatus stores a correction table that is created on the basis of the correction output data and the coefficients, in the memory circuit. The correction circuit of the display apparatus corrects display video data in accordance with the correction table.

    Abstract: A highly reliable memory device is provided. Of an information bit and a check bit forming a hamming code, the information bit having a larger bit length than the check bit is stored in a first memory portion, and the check bit is stored in the second memory portion. The hamming code is divided and stored in a plurality of memory portions, whereby occurrence of a soft error is suppressed. The first memory portion that needs a large memory capacity is formed using a Si transistor, and the second memory portion is formed using an OS transistor. A combination of memory scribing and bit interleaving achieves a highly reliable memory device.
