Foldable display panel and driving method thereof, display device and electronic apparatus

A foldable display panel, comprising:

• k display areas, wherein each display area comprises:
• a pixel array arranged in a form of an m×n array;
• j display area data signal lines, wherein each display area data signal line is configured to provide a data signal to at least one corresponding column of pixels in the pixel array;
• i display panel gate signal lines, wherein each display panel gate signal line is configured to provide a gate drive signal to at least one corresponding row of pixels in the pixel array of each display area;
• j display panel data signal lines, electrically connected with the j display area data signal lines, wherein each display panel data signal line is configured to provide a data signal to the foldable display panel;
• s1 data transmission control signal lines, wherein each data transmission control signal line is configured to provide a data transmission control signal;
• s2 data transmission control circuits, wherein each data transmission control circuit corresponds to at least one data transmission control signal line and at least one display area, and is configured to:
• in response to the data transmission control signal provided by the corresponding data transmission control signal line, bring the j display panel data signal lines into conduction with the display area data signal lines of at least one corresponding display area, respectively,
• wherein k is an integer greater than 1, m and n are integers greater than 0, respectively, i is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to m, j is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to n, and s1 and s2 are both integers greater than 1 and less than or equal to k, and s1 is greater than or equal to s2,
• wherein surrounding areas of each display area comprise a peripheral area surrounding each said display area, and wherein one of the k display areas is a master display area, and all data transmission control circuits are located in the peripheral area of the master display area.
