Abstract

An array substrate and a liquid crystal display apparatus are disclosed. The array substrate includes: a glass substrate; a light-shielding metallic layer mounted having a first region and a second region; a first insulating layer; a thin-film transistor; a pixel electrode layer; a common electrode layer electrically connected to the light-shielding metallic layer. A storage capacitor is formed between the second region and a drain electrode of the thin-film transistor. The array substrate has an advantage of increasing the storage capacitance of liquid crystal display apparatus and therefore enhancing display performance.
