Patent number: 12579952Abstract: A display panel and its driving method are provided. When a grayscale difference is less than a first preset grayscale threshold, a first driving voltage is determined to drive the display panel for displaying a current frame to be displayed. When the grayscale difference is greater than or equal to the first preset grayscale threshold and less than or equal to a second preset grayscale threshold, a second driving voltage is determined to drive display.
