An array substrate and a detection method thereof, and a display panel are disclosed. The array substrate includes a plurality of subpixels and a plurality of signal line structures. The plurality of subpixels are arranged in an array of a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns along a first direction and a second direction. Each signal line structure of the plurality of signal line structures includes at least one first detection line extending along the first direction; adjacent (n)th row and (n+1)th row of subpixels in the array form a subpixel row group, and the signal line structure is configured to be connected to the (n)th row and (n+1)th row of subpixels and detect electrical characteristics of first transistors or light-emitting elements in the subpixels.
