Provided are a display panel, a driving method, and a display device. The display panel comprises: pixel circuits arranged in rows and columns in a display area which comprises first and second display areas along a row direction, and an outer edge of the second display area extending stepwise along a column direction; data lines one-to-one corresponding to columns of the pixel circuit; signal line groups one-to-one corresponding to rows of the pixel circuits, each signal line group comprising a scan line and a light-emitting control signal line; and first electrostatic protection circuits one-to-one corresponding to data lines in the second display area, each first electrostatic protection circuit being connected to a scan line and a light-emitting control signal line in the same signal line group, for discharging static electricity on the data line to the scan line or the light-emitting control signal line.
