The embodiment of the invention discloses an array base plate and drive and manufacturing methods thereof. The array plate comprises a substrate, a plurality of first scanning lines, a plurality of second scanning lines, a plurality of data cables, a public electrode wire and a plurality of pixel units. Each pixel unit comprises a first electrode, a second electrode, a switching transistor, a shared transistor and shared capacitance. A first pole of the switching transistor is coupled with a second electrode, a second pole is coupled with the data cables, a bottom grid electrode is coupled with the first scanning lines, a top grid electrode is coupled with the second scanning lines, and the switching transistor is configured such that according to a first scanning signal from the bottom grid electrode and a second scanning signal from the top grid electrode, data signals from the data cables are transmitted to the second electrode. A first pole of the shared transistor is coupled withsecond electrodes of an adjacent next row of pixel units, and a grid electrode is coupled with the bottom grid electrode or the top grid electrode of the switching transistor. The shared capacitance comprises first capacitance, and the first capacitance is coupled between the public electrode wire and a second pole of the shared transistor.
