[0033] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, below the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the embodiments can be implemented in multiple different forms. One of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand that the manners and contents 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 contents 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.

[0034] The scale of the drawings in this disclosure can be used as a reference in an actual process, but is not limited thereto. For example, the width-length ratio of the channel, the thickness and interval of each film layer, and the width and interval of each signal line can be adjusted as needed. The number of pixels in the display device and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the number shown in the drawings. The drawings described in this disclosure are merely schematic diagrams of the structure, and one embodiment of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.

[0035] The ordinal numbers "first", "second", "third" and the like in this specification are used to avoid confusion among components, and are not intended to indicate or imply a specific order or sequence.

[0036] In this specification, the words "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like that indicate the orientation or positional relationship of components are used to describe the positional relationship of components with reference to the drawings, and are merely used for convenience of this specification and simplification of 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 this 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.

[0037] In this specification, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mount", "connected", "connected" should be understood broadly. 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, or the communication between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

The transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode.

[0039] In this specification, the first electrode can be a drain electrode, and the second electrode can be a source electrode, or the first electrode can be a source electrode, and the second electrode can be a drain electrode. In the case of using a transistor with opposite polarity or in the case of changing the direction of current in the circuit operation, the functions of "source electrode" and "drain electrode" are sometimes exchanged with each other. Therefore, in this specification, "source electrode" and "drain electrode" can be exchanged with each other, and "source terminal" and "drain terminal" can be exchanged with each other.

[0040] In the present specification, "electrically connected" includes a case where elements constituting components are connected together through an element having some electrical action. The element having some electrical action is not particularly limited as long as it can perform transmission and reception of an electrical signal between the connected elements constituting components. Examples of the element having some electrical action include not only electrodes and wiring but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements having various functions.

[0041] In the present specification, "parallel" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is -10° or more and 10° or less, and thus, a state where the angle is -5° or more and 5° or less is also included. In addition, "perpendicular" means a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is 80° or more and 100° or less, and thus, a state where the angle is 85° or more and 95° or less is also included.

[0042] In the present specification, "film" and "layer" can be replaced 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".

[0043] In the present 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 approximate triangle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a pentagon, or a hexagon.

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