An array substrate and display apparatus, the array substrate comprising a base substrate (10) and signal lines (VDD, VSS) provided on the base substrate (10), wherein at least one electrically conductive element (12) corresponding to the signal lines (VDD, VSS) is further provided on the base substrate (10), the signal lines (VDD, VSS) are connected in parallel with corresponding electrically conductive elements (12), and the electrically conductive elements (12) corresponding to different signal lines (VDD, VSS) are insulated from one another. Thus, resistance of the signal lines (VDD, VSS) can be reduced and the display effect can be improved.
