Abstract

An array substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display device are provided. The array substrate includes: a base substrate; a first thin film transistor located on the base substrate and including a first active layer; and a second thin film transistor located on the base substrate and including a second active layer; a matrix material of the first active layer is the same as that of the second active layer, and the first active layer and the second active layer satisfy at least one of the following conditions: a carrier mobility of the first active layer is greater than that of the second active layer, and a carrier concentration of the first active layer is greater than that of the second active layer. The array substrate is employed to compensate a difference in threshold voltage caused by a difference in channel width-to-length ratio of different thin film transistors.
