The present disclosure discloses a touch screen and a driving method therefore. The touch screen embeds touch control electrodes in a display panel, the touch control electrodes includes touch control signal input electrodes and touch control signal output electrodes which are cross-insulated configured, the first common electrodes are divided into a plurality of areas at least along a direction of the data lines, each area of the first common electrodes corresponds to at least one row of pixel units; the areas of first common electrodes are insulated from each other and used as the touch control signal input electrodes. The touch screen according to the present disclosure divides the common electrodes into a plurality of areas along a direction of the data lines, and uses the areas as touch control signal input electrodes. The present disclosure uses a voltage disturbance generated by common electrodes used as driving electrodes to balance out a reduction of pixel voltage, thereby disturbance impact brought by a scan of the common electrodes is reduced and the quality of the picture is improved.
