In an embodiment, a memory system may include at least two types of DRAM, which differ in at least one characteristic. For example, one DRAM type may be a high density DRAM, while another DRAM type may have lower density but may also have lower latency and higher bandwidth than the first DRAM type. DRAM of the first type may be on one or more first integrated circuits and DRAM of the second type may be on one or more second integrated circuits.

The invention relates to the field of display design, and discloses an array substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, a display panel and a display device. The array substrate comprises a base substrate, and a peripheral gate line, a gate insulation layer, a peripheral data line and a protection layer which are formed on the base substrate in turn, wherein surface height of the protection layer corresponding to position where the peripheral gate line is located is higher than that of the protection layer corresponding to position where the peripheral data line is located. As such, when in contact with a peripheral wiring area of the array substrate, a foreign material is first in contact with the protection layer corresponding to position where the peripheral gate line is located, thereby reducing probability of crushing or scratching the peripheral data line by the foreign material, improving the stability of product performance.
