An array substrate and a display panel are provided according to embodiments, which include: a first substrate; multiple data lines and multiple scan lines located on a first side of the first substrate. The multiple data lines and multiple scan lines define a pixel array. The pixel array includes multiple sub-pixels. A length of each of the sub-pixels in an extension direction of the data lines is less than a width of each of the sub-pixels in an extension direction of the scan lines. The pixel array includes multiple first pixel groups and multiple second pixel groups arranged in a matrix form. A type of each of the sub-pixels included in the first pixel groups is different from a type of each of the sub-pixels in the second pixel groups. The first pixel groups and the second pixel groups are arranged alternately.
