Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an array substrate, a method for manufacturing the array substrate and a display device. The array substrate may include a plurality of pixel groups. Each of the pixel groups may include a plurality of sub-pixels. Each of the sub-pixels may include a light-emitting region and a light-emitting layer absent region. And the light-emitting layer absent regions of the plurality of sub-pixels included in each of the pixel groups may define a first region. A photosensitive unit may be arranged on each first region and configured to generate an electrical signal based on an intensity of the light being sensed.
