The present disclosure discloses an array substrate, comprising a substrate, a plurality of pixel regions on the substrate, and a thin-film transistor formed in each of the pixel regions, each of the pixel regions comprising a pixel electrode region, wherein, the thin-film transistor comprises a gate layer and a source/drain layer formed laminatedly on the substrate; the array substrate further comprises a flat layer and a reflective metal layer formed in sequence on the substrate and covering at least the pixel electrode region and the thin-film transistor; the reflective metal layer is electrically connected to a drain of the thin-film transistor; and at least one of the gate layer and the source/drain layer is formed of a single metal layer. The present disclosure further provides a method for manufacturing the array substrate and a totally reflective type liquid crystal display comprising the array substrate.
