The present disclosure provides an array substrate and a method for fabricating the same, and a display apparatus. The array substrate includes: a base substrate, and a shielding pattern and a plurality of detection units on the base substrate. At least one of the plurality of detection units includes a switch transistor and a photosensitive device coupled to the switch transistor. The shielding pattern covers the switch transistor on a side of the switch transistor distal to the base substrate. The photosensitive device is located on a side of the shielding pattern proximal to the base substrate. The shielding pattern is configured to shield irradiation light and allow detection light to be transmitted to the photosensitive device.
