The present application belongs to the field of display technology, and provides an array substrate and a display panel, wherein the array substrate comprises a first substrate and a first
metal layer, wherein the first
metal layer is arranged on the first substrate, and the first
metal layer comprises a metal pad, which is a
solid structure, and a first spacer is arranged on the metal pad, and the
orthographic projection area of the first spacer is smaller than the
orthographic projection area of the metal pad; the display panel comprises an array substrate and a color filter substrate, and the color filter substrate is laminated and bonded to the array substrate. The array substrate provided by the present application adopts a metal pad with a
solid structure to cooperate with the first spacer, and by arranging the first spacer on a metal pad with a larger
orthographic projection area, the boundary of the first spacer can be easily and accurately found when measuring the spacer
overlay error, thereby solving the technical problem that the traditional spacer
overlay error measurement method has a high error rate when applied to POA design, and is conducive to improving the accuracy of the spacer
overlay error measurement in POA design.
