Embodiments provide an array substrate and a liquid crystal display panel. The array substrate comprises: a substrate, data lines and gate lines which are provided on the substrate and intersect with each other, and sub-pixel units which are defined by surrounding of the data lines and the gate lines and are arranged in an array form. Two gate lines for respectively driving the sub-pixel units in two adjacent rows are located between the sub-pixel units in the two adjacent rows; each sub-pixel unit comprises a thin film transistor (TFT) and a pixel electrode, and a connection area of the TFT and the pixel electrode is located between the two gate lines adjacent to the sub-pixel unit and has no overlapping area with a projection of the two gate lines in a perpendicular direction of the array substrate.
