Array substrate, manufacturing method thereof and display device

An array substrate comprising a common electrode and a pixel electrode fabricated by a single process, wherein

• the pixel electrode comprises a conductive layer having at least one slit, a transparent conductive layer in the slit and the conductive layer are connected to each other to form the pixel electrode;
• the conductive layer is in the same layer as a gate line or a data line on the array substrate.

A method of manufacturing an array substrate, comprising:

• forming a first conductive layer on a substrate, patterning the first conductive layer to form a conductive layer pattern having at least one slit;
• forming an insulating film on the conductive layer pattern, patterning the insulating film to form an insulating layer pattern having an insulating layer slit, the insulating layer slit and the slit in the conductive layer pattern being in a one-to-one correspondence;
• forming a second conductive layer on the insulating layer pattern, a portion of the second conductive layer corresponding to the slit falling into the slit and disconnected with a portion of the second conductive layer over the insulating layer pattern, the portion of the second conductive layer falling into the slit being connected with the conductive layer pattern so as to form a first electrode, the portion of the second conductive layer being located over the insulating layer pattern so as a second electrode.
