1. A driving method for a cholesteric liquid crystal display, suitable for a cholesteric liquid crystal display comprising a scan line, a data line, and a pixel, comprising the steps:
applying a first voltage to the data line and a second voltage to the scan line in a first time period, respectively;
applying a third voltage to the data line and/or and a fourth voltage to the scan line in a second time period; and
applying a fifth voltage to the data line and a sixth voltage to the scan line in a third time period;
wherein the first time period is equal to the third time period, and the second time period is no more than 20% of the first time period, and the first voltage and the second voltage are set at a high level of voltage, while the sixth voltage and the fifth voltage are set at a low level of voltage, and the voltage levels of the third voltage and the fourth voltage are set between the high level of voltage of the first voltage and the second voltage and the low level of voltage of the sixth voltage and the fifth voltage, and the pixel is driven by voltage difference applied to the scan line and the data line, wherein the voltage difference equals an electric potential difference.
