The invention provides an array substrate, a production method thereof, a display panel, and a
display device, and relates to the display technology field. The array substrate comprises a substrate; an auxiliary shade layer, an
insulation layer, a main shade layer, and a buffer layer, which are sequentially arranged in a direction away from the substrate. A plurality of grid lines and a plurality of
data lines are used to form a plurality of pixel areas in a limited way, and thin film transistors are disposed in the pixel areas. The auxiliary shade layer comprises a plurality of first auxiliary shade parts, and the main shade layer comprises a plurality of main shade parts. The orthogonal projection of the channel areas of the active
layers of the thin film transistors on the array substrate is disposed in the orthogonal projection of the main shade parts on the array substrate, and the orthogonal projection of the channel areas of the active
layers of the thin film transistors on the array substrate is disposed in the orthogonal projection of the first auxiliary shade parts on the array substrate. By adopting the technical scheme provided by the invention, intensities of light irradiated on the channel areas of the active
layers of the thin film transistors are reduced, and the light leakage flows of the thin film transistors are reduced.
