The present disclosure provides an array substrate and a display panel containing the array substrate. The array substrate includes a plurality of pixel regions, and pixel electrodes and thin film transistors one-to-one corresponding thereto. Each pixel electrode includes a pixel sub-electrode and an electrode connecting structure disposed in a corresponding pixel region, and a drain electrode of each thin film transistor is electrically connected to a corresponding pixel sub-electrode. The plurality of pixel regions includes at least one first-color pixel region and at least one second-color pixel region alternately arranged along a first direction and at least one third-color pixel region and at least one highlight pixel region alternately arranged along a first direction. A drain electrode is electrically connected to a pixel sub-electrode disposed in one of the at least one third-color pixel region is disposed in a highlight pixel region adjacent to the third-color pixel region.
