Array substrate and display panel

An array substrate, comprising:

• a display area and a peripheral area;
• a multiplicity of pixel elements, formed in the peripheral area, and comprising data lines;
• and
• a multiplicity of alignment circuits, formed in the peripheral area, and configured to align liquid crystals in the pixel elements,
• wherein the alignment circuit comprises a first bonding pad and a multiplicity of shorting bars, each of the shorting bars is electrically connected to the first bonding pad through a transition line, the shorting bar comprises a contact-hole shorting bar having a contact hole, the transition line comprises a contact-hole transition line, the contact-hole shorting bar and the contact-hole transition line are arranged at different metal layers, the contact-hole shorting bar is connected to the transition line through the contact hole, the contact-hole shorting bar comprises a first side edge and a second side edge arranged in parallel, and distances from an edge of the contact hole to the first side edge and the second side edge are equal;
• the width of the contact hole is greater than that of the contact-hole transition line;
• the shorting bar comprises a flat shorting bar, the transition line comprises a flat transition line, the flat shorting bar is electrically connected to the first bonding pad through the flat transition line, and the flat shorting bar and the flat transition line are formed by using a manufacture procedure of the same metal layer;
• and
• there are at least two flat shorting bars, each of the flat shorting bars is arranged at a different metal layer, and the flat transition line and the flat shorting bar connected thereto are formed by using the same manufacture procedure.
