[0031] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following will be used to specifically explain the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. Those skilled in the art can easily understand that the manner and content can be changed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the content described in the following embodiments. The embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.
[0032] The proportions of the drawings in the present disclosure can be used as a reference in the actual process, but are not limited thereto. For example, the width-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display device and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are also not limited to the number shown in the drawings. The drawings described in the present disclosure are only schematic structural diagrams, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0033] In the present specification, ordinal numbers such as "first", "second", "third", and the like are provided to avoid confusion of components, and are not intended to be limited in terms of quantity.
[0034] In the present specification, for the convenience of explanation, words indicating the orientation or positional relationship such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like are used to explain the positional relationship of the components with reference to the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present specification and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure. The positional relationship of the components is appropriately changed according to the direction of describing each component. Therefore, it is not limited to the words described in the specification, and can be appropriately changed according to the situation.

For example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate part, or the communication inside two elements.

[0039] In this specification, "parallel" means a state where an angle formed between two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than or equal to 10°, and thus a state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than or equal to 5° is also included. In addition, "perpendicular" means a state where an angle formed between two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than or equal to 100°, and thus a state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than or equal to 95° is also included.
[0040] In this specification, a "film" and a "layer" can be interchanged with each other. For example, a "conductive layer" can be replaced with a "conductive film". Similarly, an "insulating film" can be replaced with an "insulating layer".
[0041] In this specification, a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon is not strictly a triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon, and can be an approximately triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon.

The scan driver can generate scan signals to be provided to the scan signal lines S1, S2, S3, …, and Sm by receiving the clock signals, the scan start signal, and the like from the timing controller. For example, the scan driver can sequentially provide scan signals having on-pulse to the scan signal lines S1 to Sm. For example, the scan driver can be configured in the form of a shift register and can generate the scan signals in a manner that sequentially transfers the scan start signal provided in the form of an on-pulse to a next stage circuit under the control of the clock signals. The light emitting driver can generate light emitting control signals to be provided to the light emitting control lines E1, E2, E3, …, and Eo by receiving the clock signals, the emission stop signal, and the like from the timing controller. For example, the light emitting driver can sequentially provide emission signals having off-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 the light emitting control signals in a manner that sequentially transfers the emission stop signal provided in the form of an off-pulse to a next stage circuit under the control of the clock signals.
