A driving circuit, a driving method, a display device, and a display control method are provided. The driving circuit includes multi-stage driving units and an on/off control circuit. Each of the driving units includes an input end and a driving signal output end, and each of the driving units is configured for outputting a corresponding driving signal via the driving signal output end according to an input signal provided by the input end. The input end of a first-stage driving unit is electrically connected to a start signal end. The on/off control circuit is electrically connected to an on/off control end and input ends of the multi-stage driving units, and configured for controlling the electric connection or electric disconnection of the input ends of the multi-stage driving units under the control of an on/off control signal provided by the on/off control end.
