The present disclosure provides an array substrate and a display panel, where the array substrate includes: a plurality of pixel structures, each of the pixel structures comprises at least one pixel region, wherein a signal wire is provided at a side of the pixel region, and a pixel electrode is provided in the pixel region, a shield electrode being in a same layer as the pixel electrode is provided at a side of the pixel electrode proximal to the signal wire, and the shield electrode is electrically coupled to a common electrode line. The technical solution of the present disclosure can improve the chaos in electric field at the edge of the area of the pixel region between the pixel electrode and the signal wire, and it is beneficial to reduce light leakage and increase the aperture ratio.
