The present disclosure provides an array substrate, a driving method thereof and a display panel. The array substrate includes: a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, wherein two adjacent rows of pixels are grouped into a pixel group; switching elements respectively connected with the pixels; a data line, wherein two data lines corresponds to each column of pixels arranged at two sides of this column respectively; and gate lines each located between two adjacent rows of pixels of each pixel group; wherein respective pixels in a same pixel group are connected with one gate line located between two rows of pixels though respective switching elements; two pixels adjacent to each other along a column direction in a same pixel group are respectively connected with two data lines respectively located at two sides of a column where the two pixels are located through respective switching elements.

A method of manufacturing a thin film transistor is disclosed. The method of manufacturing the thin film transistor includes: manufacturing a substrate; forming an oxide semiconductor layer on the substrate; forming a pattern including an active layer through a patterning process; forming a source and drain metal layer on the active layer; and forming a pattern including a source electrode and a drain electrode through a patterning process, an opening being formed between the source electrode and the drain electrode at a position corresponding to a region of the active layer used as a channel, wherein the step of forming the pattern including the source electrode and the drain electrode through a patterning process includes: removing a portion of the source and drain metal layer corresponding to the position of the opening through dry etching. The method may also be used to manufacturing a thin film transistor.

An array substrate and a manufacturing method thereof, comprising a base substrate, and a gate, a gate insulating layer, an active layer and a source/drain arranged on the base substrate, the array substrate further comprising an antenna for receiving and/or transmitting wireless signals, the antenna being arranged on the base substrate. By arranging the antenna on the base substrate of the array substrate, the antenna is integrated directly in the display panel. Thus, not only the area of the PCB circuit board in the display device can be reduced, but also the spare area in the array substrate can be utilized sufficiently, thereby improving the integration level of the display device and reducing the total volume of the display device.
