A display apparatus includes a substrate including a trench portion, a display area, and a non-display area. The non-display area includes a first non-display area. The display area includes a main area and first and second display areas protruding from the main area. The first non-display area and the trench portion are between the first and second display areas. The display apparatus further includes: first scan lines transmitting scan signals to pixels in the first display area; second scan lines transmitting scan signals to pixels in the second display area; connection scan lines in the first non-display area and connecting the first scan lines and the second scan lines; and driving voltage lines transmitting driving voltages to pixels in the main area. A plurality of first driving voltage lines among the driving voltage lines extend to the first non-display area, and overlap the plurality of connection scan lines.

Display apparatus

A display panel includes a base substrate in which an active area and a peripheral area adjacent to the active area are defined, a pixel disposed in the active area, a first line disposed in the active area and connected to the pixel, a second line disposed in the peripheral area and spaced apart from the first line in a plan view, a linking pattern electrically connecting the first line to the second line and disposed on a layer different from a layer on which each of the first and second lines is disposed, and an inorganic layer disposed between the first line and the linking pattern and between the second line and the linking pattern. The linking pattern is connected to the first line and the second line through contact holes formed in the inorganic layer.

Display panel and method of manufacturing the same

Provided is a display apparatus having improved display quality by reducing defects due to static electricity. The display apparatus includes: a substrate including a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area, the display area including a main area and a first protruding area and a second protruding area extending from the main area and protruding toward the peripheral area in a first direction, the second protruding area being spaced apart from the first protruding area in a second direction that intersects the first direction, a groove portion is disposed between the first protruding area and the second protruding area; a display unit including a first light emitter and a second light emitter; a first load matching part electrically connected to the first light emitter; and a second load matching part electrically connected to the second light emitter.

A thin-film transistor array substrate includes a substrate; a first active layer of a first transistor, which is on the substrate and includes a source region, a channel region, and a drain region; a conductive layer, which is on the first active layer and is electrically connected to the source region or the drain region via a contact hole; a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer, which are between the first active layer and the conductive layer, where the contact hole is defined through the first and second insulating layers; and a first supporting layer, which is between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer and surrounds at least a portion of the contact hole.
