The present invention discloses a
display device and a driving method thereof. The
display device comprises a display panel and a cleanup
voltage generation module; the display panel comprises scanning lines and
data lines which are criss-crossed, a common
electrode, a pixel
electrode, a plurality of pixel areas crosswise limited by the scanning lines and the
data lines and a plurality of cleanupvoltage lines; the cleanup
voltage generation module outputs cleanup voltages to the cleanup
voltage lines and outputs a common voltage to the common
electrode; each pixel area is internally providedwith a first
thin film transistor and a second
thin film transistor; the grid of each second
thin film transistor is connected with the cleanup voltage lines, the source of each second thin film
transistor is connected with the pixel electrode, and the drain of each second thin film
transistor is connected with a common voltage line; and when the
display device is
shut down, the cleanup voltages are high level, the second thin film transistors are opened, the drains of the first thin film transistors and the pixel electrode connected with the drains of the first thin film transistors are in short connection with the common electrode, the display frame is a black state without a
splash screen phenomenon; and the residual charges in the pixel area are completed released. The present invention further discloses a driving method of the display device.
