Embedded touch panels and the array substrates thereof

An embedded touch panel, comprising:

• an array substrate comprising:
• a touch electrode arranged in an active area of the touch panel in a matrix;
• a touch sensing chip arranged outside the active area of the touch panel;
• a plurality of metal connecting lines arranged on a different layer with the touch electrode, wherein the metal connecting lines are connected to the touch electrode via at least one through hole, and the metal connecting line and a data line of the touch panel are insulated from each other and are overlapped;
• wherein the touch electrode is connected to the touch sensing chip via the metal connecting line;
• wherein the switch circuit comprises at least one thin film transistor (TFT) and a common conductive line being arranged in a rim of the active area, a gate of the TFT is connected to the common conductive line, one of a source and a drain of the TFT is connected to the metal connecting line, and the other one of the source and the drain of the TFT is connected to the data line;
• and
• wherein the switch circuit is arranged between the metal connecting line and the data line, the switch circuit connects the metal connecting line and the data line in a touch phase, and the switch circuit disconnects the metal connecting line and the data line in a display phase.
