The invention relates to an array baseplate, a manufacturing method thereof and a display device. The array baseplate comprises grid lines, common electrode lines, data lines, a first spacing layer and/or a second spacing layer, the grid lines, the common electrode lines and the data lines are arranged on a substrate, the first spacing layer is arranged in an overlapped area of the common electrode lines and the data lines and positioned between the common electrode lines and the data lines and extends to at least one side by preset length in the width direction of the data lines, and the second spacing layer is arranged in an overlapped area of the grid lines and the data lines and positioned between the grid lines and the data lines and extends to at least one side by preset length in the width direction of the data lines. By arranging the first spacing layer and/or the second spacing layer, when a data line metal layer is exposed, width difference of the data lines caused by difference in light reflectivity of common electrode layer metal and/or grid line layer metal and data line layer metal is reduced, so that width uniformity of the data lines is improved, risk of breaking of the data lines is lowered, and product yield is increased.
