AI summary

A driving method for a display device and a display device are disclosed. The driving method includes: determining, based on a voltage change value and a resistance value whether to perform grading adjustment on a target data voltage pre-input to a data line; adjusting, according to predetermined grading rules, a data voltage on the data line by grading when the voltage change is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, and inputting the graded data voltages to the data lines respectively to drive the display panel; outputting, the target data voltage pre-input directly to the data line to drive the display panel when the voltage change value is less than the preset value.
