Abstract

An array substrate and a display device are provided. The array substrate includes a base substrate. The base substrate includes a display area and a non-display area. The display area is provided with a plurality of first signal lines and a plurality of second signal lines. The plurality of first signal lines and the plurality of second signal lines intersect to define a plurality of pixel units, and the plurality of first signal lines is substantially radially distributed.
