The array substrate comprises a substrate 10, a thin film transistor 30 and a shading metal layer 40, wherein the shading metal layer 40 is positioned on one side of the thin film transistor 30, which is far away from the substrate 10. The thin film transistor 30 includes a gate electrode 31, a semiconductor layer 32, a source electrode 33, and a drain electrode 34, and it is understood that the source electrode 33 and the drain electrode 34 may be used interchangeably, the gate electrode 31 is formed of the same material and at the same layer as the scan line 12, and the source electrode 33 and the drain electrode 34 are formed of the same material and at the same layer as the data line 11. In the embodiment of the invention, the display is realized by controlling the two thin film transistors 30 connected in series, and the two thin film transistors 30 connected in series can reduce leakage current and prompt the display quality. The array substrate further includes a plurality of auxiliary lines 70, a plurality of data link lines 14, and a driving chip 20. The auxiliary lines 70 are located on the side of the data lines 11 away from the substrate 10, the auxiliary lines 70 correspond to the data lines 11 one by one, a first insulating layer 61 is arranged between the auxiliary lines 70 and the data lines 11 corresponding to the auxiliary lines one by one, and at least two auxiliary line through holes F are formed to electrically connect the auxiliary lines 70 and the data lines 11. Illustratively in fig. 1, two auxiliary line vias F are disposed corresponding to one data line 11, and the auxiliary line vias F include a first via F1 located in the non-display area 120 and a second via F2 located in the display area 110. At the first via F1, the data line 11 is electrically connected to the auxiliary line 70. Similarly, at the second through hole F2, the data line 11 is also electrically connected to the auxiliary line 70.

The auxiliary line 70 and the shading metal layer 40 can be arranged on the same layer, so that the thickness of the whole array substrate can be reduced, and in addition, the auxiliary line 70 and the shading metal layer 40 can be formed by the same material in the same process, so that only one etching process is needed in the manufacturing process, mask plates do not need to be manufactured on the auxiliary line 70 and the shading metal layer 40 respectively, the cost is saved, the number of manufacturing processes is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
Fig. 5 is an operation diagram of an array substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention, and for clarity, fig. 5 shows a part of the auxiliary lines 70 (indicated by dashed lines), and the auxiliary lines 70 are spatially separated from the data lines 11 corresponding to the auxiliary lines 70, as shown in fig. 5, and the directions of arrows indicate the transmission directions of data signals. The structure of the array substrate shown in fig. 5 is the same as that shown in fig. 1, but signal lines are omitted for clarity. In the process of driving a specific pixel unit 131 to display a picture by the driving chip 20, the transmission process of the data signal (current or voltage signal) is as follows: the data signal sent by the driving chip 20 is divided into two paths after reaching the data connection line through hole D along the data connection line 14, and one path is directly transmitted to the pixel unit 131 along the data line 11; the other path is first transferred to the auxiliary line 70 at the first via F1 via the data line 11, then transferred from the auxiliary line 70 to the data line 11 at the second via F2, and finally transferred to the pixel unit 131 via the data line 11. It can be seen that the data signal is transmitted to the pixel unit 131 through the two parallel portions, which has a smaller impedance in data signal transmission than the data signal transmitted through the data line 11 only.
The array substrate provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the shading metal layer, and the shading metal layer is positioned on one side of the thin film transistor, which is far away from the substrate, so that light is prevented from irradiating a semiconductor layer of the thin film transistor, and therefore, the thin film transistor is prevented from generating photocurrent under illumination, and the use stability of the thin film transistor is improved. In the prior art, since a data signal of the narrow-frame array substrate is conducted from the driving chip to a specific pixel unit and needs to pass through the data connecting line and the data line, the data line has certain impedance, so that the transmitted data signal has certain distortion, and the display effect is affected. The array substrate provided by the embodiment of the invention also comprises a plurality of auxiliary lines, wherein the auxiliary lines correspond to the data lines one by one and at least two auxiliary line through holes are formed to electrically connect the auxiliary lines and the data lines, so that the auxiliary lines and the data lines between the two auxiliary line through holes form a parallel structure, and compared with the data lines, the parallel structure has smaller impedance during data signal transmission, thereby reducing or even eliminating data signal distortion. On the other hand, the auxiliary line and the shading metal layer are arranged on the same layer, the auxiliary line can comprise the same material as the shading metal layer, the shading metal layer is made of metal materials, and the metal materials have good conductivity, so that data signal distortion can be reduced or even eliminated well.
Optionally, referring to fig. 3, the array substrate further includes a storage capacitor C, the first plate C1 of the storage capacitor C is disposed on the same layer as the source 33 and the drain 34 of the thin film transistor 30, that is, the first plate C1 of the storage capacitor C is disposed on the same layer as the data line 11, and the second plate C2 of the storage capacitor C is disposed on the same layer as the gate 31 of the thin film transistor 30, that is, the second plate C2 of the storage capacitor C is disposed on the same layer as the scan line 12. The storage capacitor C is mainly used to keep the charged voltage until the next refresh frame, so the larger the capacitance of the storage capacitor C is, the better the capacitance is. The array substrate provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the auxiliary lines 70 corresponding to the data lines 11 one by one, the auxiliary lines 70 and the data lines 11 form a parallel structure, and the parallel structure has smaller impedance during data signal transmission, so that under the condition of giving an impedance threshold standard, compared with the data lines which only transmit data signals through the data lines in the prior art, the data lines 11 in the array substrate provided by the embodiment of the invention can be arranged with smaller width, so as to reserve more space for the pixel units 13, and therefore, the areas of the first polar plate C1 and the second polar plate C2 of the storage capacitor C can be appropriately increased, so as to increase the capacitance value of the storage capacitor C.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 1 to 4, the auxiliary lines 70 overlap with the vertical projections of the data lines 11 one-to-one corresponding thereto on the substrate base plate 10. At this time, the vertical projection of the auxiliary line via-hole F on the substrate base plate 10 may be provided in the overlapping region where the auxiliary line 70 and the data line 11 are vertically projected on the substrate base plate 10. Further, the auxiliary lines 70 may be arranged to overlap with the vertical projections of the data lines 11 corresponding to one another on the substrate board 10.

The data connecting lines 14 and the scanning lines 12 can be formed by the same material in the same process, so that only one etching process is needed in the manufacturing process, no mask plate needs to be manufactured on the data connecting lines 14 and the scanning lines 12 respectively, and the cost is saved.
Fig. 7 is another schematic cross-sectional view of the area S3 in fig. 1, in which, unlike fig. 6, the auxiliary lines and the data lines 11 corresponding to the auxiliary lines are electrically connected at the data link through holes, and referring to fig. 1, 6 and 7, any one of the auxiliary lines 70 and the data line 11 corresponding to the auxiliary line are electrically connected to each other at the data link through hole D, and the data line 11 is electrically connected to the data link 14 through the data link through hole D. The auxiliary line via F includes a data link line via D, and the auxiliary line 70, the data line 11 and the data link line 11 are electrically connected. It is understood that the provision of vias (e.g., auxiliary line vias F, data link line vias D) in the display area 110 may have an effect on the display area 110, for example, the vias may reduce the area of the pixel unit 13 adjacent thereto. In the embodiment of the present invention, by removing the insulating layer (including the first insulating layer 61) between the auxiliary line 70 and the data line 11 at the data link line via hole D and forming a through auxiliary line via hole F, the number of via holes formed is reduced relative to the formation of the auxiliary line via hole F at other positions of the display area 110 of the array substrate, thereby reducing the influence of the via holes on the display area 110.

The pixel unit 13 includes light-shielding metal layers 40 for shielding light from the semiconductor layer 32 of the thin film transistor 30, any two light-shielding metal layers 40 are electrically insulated from each other, and the light-shielding metal layers 40 are electrically insulated from the auxiliary line 70. The auxiliary line 70 includes a first auxiliary line 71 and a second auxiliary line 72 stacked and disposed in contact with each other, the first auxiliary line 71 being formed of the same material as the light-shielding metal layer 40 in the same layer, and the second auxiliary line 72 being formed of the same material as the pixel electrode 50 in the same layer. Since a further conductive layer is added to the auxiliary line 70 on the same layer as the light-shielding metal layer 40, the conductivity of the auxiliary line 70 is enhanced, and thus the impedance during data signal transmission is further reduced. In other embodiments, an insulating layer may be further disposed between the light-shielding metal layer and the pixel electrode, and the relative positions of the light-shielding metal layer and the pixel electrode are not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.
