1. A method for a first driver circuit, which is configured to cooperate with a second driver circuit to control a display panel, the first driver circuit being configured to output display data to a first area of the display panel and the second driver circuit being configured to output display data to a second area of the display panel, the display panel having a first gate-on-array (GOA) circuit and a second GOA circuit, wherein the first GOA circuit corresponds to the first area and the second GOA circuit corresponds to the second area, the method comprising:
outputting, by the first driver circuit, at least one emission control signal to the second GOA circuit, to control a light-emitting device in the second area of the display panel to stop emitting light when the second driver circuit is disabled;
wherein the at least one emission control signal comprises an emission start pulse and an emission control clock.
