The light-emitting driver can generate a light-emitting control signal to be provided to the light-emitting control lines E1, E2, E3, ... and Eo by receiving a clock signal, an emission stop signal, etc. from a timing controller. For example, the light-emitting driver can sequentially provide an emission signal having an off-level pulse to the light-emitting control lines E1 to Eo. For example, the light-emitting driver can be configured in the form of a shift register and can generate a light-emitting control signal by sequentially transmitting an emission stop signal provided in the form of an off-level pulse to the next-stage circuit under the control of a clock signal.
