## Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an array substrate, a display panel and a display device. The array substrate includes a plurality of shift register units, a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines crossing the plurality of gate lines. The plurality of gate lines crossing the plurality of data lines defines a plurality of pixel regions. Each of the pixel regions is divided into a driving zone and a pixel unit zone. A plurality of the driving zones in a same column constitute at least one unit region and each of the shift register units is disposed in one of the unit regions to provide scanning signals to the gate line connected thereto.
