Abstract

A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a plurality of gate lines formed extending in a first direction of a lower substrate and spaced apart by an equal interval along a second direction of the lower substrate; a dummy gate line formed below the last gate line in the second direction; a plurality of data lines formed extending in the second direction and spaced apart by an equal interval along the first direction; a plurality of pixels formed at crossing portions of the plurality of gate lines and the plurality of data lines, each pixel having a thin film transistor and a storage capacitor; and a gate drive unit disposed outside the lower substrate, and electrically connected to the plurality of gate lines and the dummy gate line to deliver a gate signal for turning on/off the thin film transistor.
