The invention discloses an array substrate and a detection method thereof and a 
display device. The array substrate comprises an underlayer substrate, a 
thin film transistor located on the underlayer substrate and a photosensitive layer located on the underlayer substrate; the photosensitive layer comprises a shading part, at least part of 
orthographic projection, on the underlayer substrate, of the figure of the shading part blocks the figure of an 
active layer of the 
thin film transistor, and the shading part is located on the side, deviating from a grid 
electrode, of the 
active layer of the 
thin film transistor. According to the array substrate, the shading part in the photosensitive layer is adopted for blocking the figure of the 
active layer, due to the fact that the photosensitive layer is illuminated with light rays, a photo-generated current can be generated, that is to say, the photosensitive layer can convert 
light energy into 
electric energy, the photosensitive layer has the certain light 
absorption effect, most of the light rays are absorbed by the photosensitive layer, 
light reflection of the shading part is reduced, and the influence on the display effect of the 
display device is reduced.
