Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a substrate defining transistor and wiring areas; a thin film transistor in the transistor area and including a gate electrode, an active layer, and source and drain electrodes; an etch prevention layer in the transistor area, absent in the wiring area and covering the active layer, and first and second contact holes defined in the etch prevention layer and through which the active layer is electrically coupled to the source and drain electrodes; a first wiring layer in the wiring area; a first insulating layer which covers the gate electrode and the first wiring layer, and a third contact hole defined in the first insulating layer in the wiring area and exposing the first wiring layer; and a second wiring layer on the first insulating layer and in the wiring area, and electrically coupled to the first wiring layer via the third contact hole.
