  • Patent number: 8958041
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a gate line, a data line crossing the gate line and a pixel area. A common electrode and a pixel electrode are overlapped with each other and formed in the pixel area. The common electrode and the pixel electrode receive different voltages. The data line includes a first data line through which a voltage is applied to the common electrode and a second data line through which a voltage is applied to the pixel electrode. The first data line crosses the pixel area to minimize an area where the first data line is formed, thereby improving an aperture ratio of the display apparatus.
