Abstract

An array substrate and a display panel are provided. The array substrate includes a substrate, and at least three pixel unit. The pixel unit includes at least one pixel group and at least three data line groups disposed on the substrate. Each pixel group includes six sub-pixels arranged at intervals in a first direction. Each sub-pixel includes at least one pixel electrode. The at least three data line groups include three data line groups. Each data line group corresponds to a pixel electrode of one sub-pixel. The data line group is located on one side of the pixel electrode which is adjacent to the substrate. Each data line group includes two data lines arranged at intervals in the first direction. The pixel electrode of each sub-pixel is electrically connected to one data line.
