A method for displaying information, characterized in that the method comprises: receiving a notification message to be presented when a display screen is in a screen-off state; and performing a darkening process for an object to be hidden on the display screen and displaying the notification message, when the display screen is switched into a screen-on state from the screen-off state; wherein the object to be hidden comprises a whole or a part of remaining display content displayed on the display screen except the notification message; wherein performing a darkening process for an object to be hidden on the display screen and displaying the notification message comprises: displaying a preset darkening image superposed on an upper layer over an original locked screen displayed on the display screen, such that the object to be hidden is darkened; wherein the original locked screen is a display interface preset for the display screen being switched into the screen-on state from the screen-off state, the darkening image is configured to cover the original locked screen entirely or configured to cover the object to be hidden, and the darkening image has a transparency lower than a preset threshold; and displaying the notification message superposed on an upper layer over the darkening image if the darkening image is configured to cover the original locked screen entirely, the notification message is displayed in form of highlighted mode or displayed with an inverse color of the darkening image, or displaying the notification message on the display screen if the darkening image is configured to cover the object to be hidden; the method further comprising: detecting whether there is presence of a touch event in a preset detection region of the display screen, wherein the detection region is an arbitrary region of the display screen; and controlling the display screen to stop displaying the darkening image if presence of the touch event is detected in the detection region, such that the object to be hidden is displayed. receiving a notification message to be presented when a display screen is in a screen-off state;
