In other words, the pixel circuits PX (5) to PX (8) sequentially write the data signals in the periods P35 to P311, and then simultaneously perform the light emission operation in the period P312.
Similarly, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, during the period P316, the pixel circuits PX (9) to PX (12) are simultaneously configured to perform the light emitting operation according to the light emission control signal ES (3) generated by the light emission control circuit EG (3).

Correspondingly, the time interval 4×t31 is provided between the time when the i-th group pixel circuit starts to emit light and the time when the i+1th group pixel circuit starts to emit light. For example, the first set of pixel circuits emits light from the period P38, and the second set of pixel circuits emits light from the period P312, wherein the period P38 and the period P312 have a time interval of 4×t31 therebetween.
In some other embodiments, each set of pixel circuits includes K pixel circuits. Correspondingly, a time interval k×t31 is provided between the time at which the i-th group pixel circuit starts to emit light and the time at which the i+1th group pixel circuit starts to emit light.
As shown in fig. 3, the maximum possible light emission time of each light emitting circuit in the first group of pixel circuits is denoted by a time interval T32. The time interval T32 is not drawn to scale. Various lengths of the time interval T32 are within the scope of the present disclosure.
