An array substrate, a method for manufacturing the same and a display apparatus are provided. The array substrate comprises: a substrate (1); a common electrode (2) and a pixel electrode (10) sequentially formed on the substrate (1) and insulated from each other; a thin film transistor comprising a gate electrode (4), an active layer (7), a source electrode (8a) and a drain electrode (8b), wherein the drain electrode (8b) is electrically connected with the pixel electrode (10); a common electrode line (5) disposed in a same layer as the gate electrode (4); and an insulating layer (3) between the gate electrode (4) and the common electrode (2), wherein the common electrode (2) is connected with the common electrode line (5) through a through hole in the insulating layer (3).
