The embodiment of the invention provides a display panel and a pixel driving method, and relates to the technical field of display. The display panel is provided with a first display area and a seconddisplay area, the light
transmittance of the second display area is higher than that of the first display area, and a plurality of second scanning
signal lines and a plurality of second
data signal lines are arranged corresponding to the second display area. The display panel is provided with a pixel drive circuit, the pixel drive circuit comprises a first driving sub-circuit used for driving pixels in a first display area and a second driving sub-circuit used for driving pixels in a second display area, and the second driving sub-circuit is connected with a second scanning
signal line and asecond
data signal line; and for one display period, under the condition that the scanning
signal received by the second driving sub-circuit is at the conduction level, the
data signal received by thesecond driving sub-circuit is converted into the conduction level from the
cut-off level. By means of the technical scheme, at least part of the area of the display panel can be pervious to light andcan be displayed.
