Display device and driving method thereof

A method for driving a display device, comprising:

• providing the display device, wherein the display device includes a plurality of sub-pixels arranged as an array;
• each row of the plurality of sub-pixels are connected by a scan line;
• each column of the plurality of sub-pixels are connected by a data line;
• the display device also includes a plurality of multiplexers;
• each multiplexer of the plurality of multiplexers includes m switch units;
• the m switch units include m1 first switch units and m2 second switch units;
• m, m1, and m2 are all positive integers, and m≥m1+m2;
• output terminals of different switch units of a same multiplexer are connected to different data lines;
• input terminals of all switch units of the same multiplexer are connected to a same data voltage input terminal;
• control terminals of different switch units of the same multiplexer are connected to different clock signal lines;
• and a row display time period of a row of sub-pixels of one frame of display image of the display device includes a data writing phase and a display maintaining phase;
• in a first stage of the data writing phase, always turning on the m1 first switch units of each multiplexer under a control of corresponding m1 clock signal lines, and sequentially turning on the m2 second switch units for a preset time in a preset order under a control of corresponding m2 clock signal lines;
• in a second stage of the data writing phase, keeping the m1 first switch units being turned on under the control of the corresponding m1 clock signal lines, turning off the m2 second switch units under the control of the corresponding m2 clock signal lines, and writing corresponding data voltage signals to the row of sub-pixels to cause the row of sub-pixels to display under a control of corresponding scan lines;
• and
• in the display maintaining phase, displaying same as in the second stage of the data writing phase,
• wherein at least one of the plurality of first switch units is always turned on under a control of a corresponding clock signal line when at least two continuously scanned rows of sub-pixels are displaying.
