Disclosed is a method for driving a display panel. The display panel includes a plurality of unit pixels and a plurality of switches. The switches are used for controlling the unit pixels to display. The method includes transmitting a plurality of gate signals to the switches for driving the switches. More, the driving method also includes transmitting a plurality of data signals to the switches for providing a plurality of pixel voltages to the unit pixels and providing common voltages to the unit pixels as well as generating the potential differences with the common voltage and the pixel voltages of the unit pixels for controlling the display of the unit pixels by a group time. The total amount of potential differences in each unit pixel in the group time is substantially equal to zero. The group time includes a plurality of driving unit times. In each driving unit time, at least one group of pixels displays. A group of pixels includes a plurality of grayscale levels of brightness. The total brightness of the grayscale levels accords with a predetermined brightness. Therefore, the display not only can increase its viewing angel, but also can avoid residual image caused from residual charge.
