TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a field of organic light-emitting display, and in particular to a light-emitting control circuit, a light-emitting control method and a shift register.
BACKGROUND
An Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) has been applied to displays with a high performance more and more because of its advantages such as a high luminance, a wide viewing angle, a rapid response speed and etc. Traditional passive matrix OLED (PMOLED) requires shorter driving time for a single pixel as its display size becomes bigger, therefore an instantaneous current is increased and a power consumption is also increased. Further, an application with a big current would cause a voltage drop on an ITO line too great and an operation voltage at the OLED too high, which may decrease its efficiency in turn. As compared, an active matrix OLED (AMOLED) may solve these problem well by scanning input OLED currents progressively with switching transistors.
For an AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) display, not only a row strobing signal for controlling an ON/OFF state of a pixel connected with a gate is required to be generated, but also an ON/OFF state of the organic light emitting diode (OLED) is required to be controlled. A state controlling signal for the OLED is a positive level signal with respect to an AMOLED display backboard composed of p-type transistors, in order to ensure that an OLED device is in the OFF state during a process for writing display data into pixel cells and the OLED device is turned on to emit light after the display data is written into the pixel cells, thereby a display image is guaranteed not to generate flickers due to an unstable state of a pixel circuit as the data is written.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, a t1 stage is an input sampling stage. At this time, the input signal STV is also in the low level, and the CK1 is in the low level at this moment so the T1 is turned on, the CK3 is in the high level so the T8 is turned off, then the level at the N1 node is pulled down to VGL+|Vthp|; at the same time, the T2 is turned on because the CK1 is in the low level, the N4 node is in the low level, the T12 is turned on, the N5 node is in the low level. Thus, on the one hand, the T10 and T11 are turned on, the N2 node and the N3 node are in the high level, and because the transistors T4 and T6 are turned off, the levels at the N3 node and the N5 node are ensured; on the other hand, the T13 is turned on, so the light-emitting control signal output from the outputting terminal EM[n] for the light-emitting control signal is in the low level; wherein Vthp is a threshold voltage of a p-type thin film transistor.
A t2 stage is an outputting stage. The CK1 and CK3 are in the high level, the transistors T1, T3, T2 and T9 are all turned off, the level at the N1 node is pulled down correspondingly because of the bootstrap effect of the capacitor C1; the T3 is turned on, the CK2 signal is in the low level, the level at the N2 node is low at this time, then the T4 is turned on to pull down the level at the N3 node; accordingly, the T6 is turned on, the N5 node is in the high level and the T13 is turned off; the T7 is turned on since the CK2 is in the low level, so the light-emitting control signal output from the outputting terminal EM[n] for the light-emitting control signal is a high level signal and provides a ON signal to the OLED device.
A t3 stage is a resetting stage. The CK3 is low, the T8 and T9 are turned on accordingly to pull up the level at the N1 node and pull down the level at the N4 node. At this time, the T12 is turned on, the level at the N5 node is in the low level. At this moment, the T10 and T11 are turned on so as to pull up the levels at the N2 node and the N3 node. The T4 and T6 are turned off so that the levels at the N3 node and the N5 node are ensured; the T13 is turned on since the N5 node is in the low level, then the light-emitting control signal output from the outputting terminal EM[n] for the light-emitting control signal is pulled down again at this time, thus a resetting of the light-emitting control signal is achieved.

a first falling edge of the CLK1-2 aligns with a first rising edge of the CLK1-1;
a first falling edge of the CLK1-3 aligns with a rising edge of the STV;
a first falling edge of the CLK2-1 locates at a 1⁄4 pulse width of the STV, that is, at a 1⁄2 pulse width of the CLK1-1 itself;
a first falling edge of the CLK2-2 aligns with a first rising edge of the CLK2-1;
a first falling edge of the CLK2-3 aligns with a first rising edge of the CLK2-2;
a duty ratio of the CLK1-1, a duty ratio of the CLK1-2, a duty ratio of the CLK1-3, a duty ratio of the CLK2-1, a duty ratio of the CLK2-2 and a duty ratio of the CLK2-3 are 1⁄3.
