A display apparatus and a method for driving a display panel thereof are provided. The display panel includes an inducing signal readout line and N gate lines, in which N is a natural number. The inducing signal readout line is coupled to a plurality of inducing circuits. Each inducing circuit is coupled to one of the gate lines, and the Nth gate line is coupled to one of the inducing circuits. In the method, several gate pulses are provided to drive the gate lines sequentially to turn on the corresponding inducing circuits, wherein at least a portion of the driving duration of a gate pulse provided to the Nth gate line is in a blanking time between two frames.
