Abstract

The present application provides a method for displaying information, and a terminal equipment. The method for displaying information comprises: detecting whether a display screen of a terminal equipment switches from a screen-off state to a screen-on state when the display screen is in the screen-off state; displaying at least one information card on the display screen after it is detected that the display screen switches from the screen-off state to the screen-on state, wherein, the at least one information card includes information for informative purpose obtained from a network side, and the size of the at least one information card is smaller than that of the display screen. In the present solution, information for informative purpose is pushed to a user in the form of cards when a screen switches from a screen-off to a screen-on, such that the user can browse the information for informative purpose during the fragmented spare time when the screen switches between the screen-on and the screen-off, thereby improving the usage of fragmented spare time of users.
