The embodiment of the present application provides an array substrate and a display panel, and relates to the technical field of display, the array substrate comprises a display area and a non-display area surrounding at least part of the display area, the array substrate comprises a substrate, a
signal trace and a plurality of electrostatic protection units, the
signal trace is located on one side of the substrate, the
signal trace is located in the non-display area, the
signal trace comprises a straight
line segment extending along a first direction and an
oblique line segment connected with the straight
line segment, and the
oblique line segment and the straight
line segment have a first included angle. The plurality of electrostatic protection units are located on one side of the substrate, the plurality of electrostatic protection units comprise a first electrostatic protection unit, the first electrostatic protection unit is located on a side of the
oblique line segment away from the display area, and the included angle β1 between the extension direction of the first electrostatic protection unit and the extension direction of the oblique line segment is less than or equal to 30 DEG. The present application can reduce the space occupied by the first electrostatic protection unit in the frame, so that the frame of the array substrate can be narrower.
