Driving method and apparatus for display panel, storage medium, and display device

A driving apparatus for a display panel, wherein the display panel comprises a plurality of pixels arranged in an array, and the driving apparatus for the display panel comprises a processor and a storage device, wherein the storage device stores processor-executable programs, and the programs comprise:

• a display subarea determination module configured to, when a current driving mode of the display panel is a multi-frequency driving mode, determine a refresh rate of each pixel in the display panel in the current driving mode, wherein the display panel in the current driving mode comprises at least a first display area and a second display area, and a refresh rate of a pixel in the first display area is different from a refresh rate of a pixel in the second display area;
• and
• a data signal providing module configured to, during at least part of a display period in the current driving mode, control a data driving circuit to provide data signals with different driving strengths for the pixel in the first display area and the pixel in the second display area.
