Abstract

The present invention provides an array substrate, a display device, and a mother board. One or more short-circuit rings are each arranged at an end of a corresponding signal line and connected to the corresponding signal line, and the short-circuit rings are serially connected through a common electrode line. The array substrate is added with a test line and a testing terminal pad, the testing terminal pad is connected to the common electrode line via the test line and is configured to apply a negative voltage onto the common electrode line connected to the test line while testing the signal line.
