Disclosed are an array substrate and a method for manufacturing the same, a display panel, and a display device. The array substrate includes: a base substrate; a TFT array layer provided on the base substrate, wherein the TFT array layer includes a plurality of driver transistors arranged in an array; a color resist layer provided on a side of the TFT array layer distal to the base substrate, wherein the color resist layer includes a plurality of color resist patterns independent from each other, a first opening is formed between adjacent ones of the color resist patterns, and an orthogonal projection of the first opening onto the base substrate at least partially overlaps with an orthogonal projection of an output electrode in a respective one of the driver transistors onto the base substrate; and pixel electrodes provided on a side of the color resist layer distal to the base substrate.
