A driving method for a touch display substrate, wherein the touch display substrate comprises a substrate, a plurality of electrode blocks, independent of each other and arranged in an array, disposed on the substrate, and a switching device disposed between adjacent electrode blocks of the plurality of electrode blocks, the driving method comprising:
- during a touch period, each electrode block receiving a touch scan signal;
- during a display period, each electrode block receiving a common voltage, wherein the switching device electrically isolates the adjacent electrode blocks from each other during the touch period and electrically connects the adjacent electrode blocks during the display period.
