Abstract: A display apparatus includes a first substrate including a channel-forming area, a second substrate facing the first substrate, a thin-film transistor disposed on the first substrate, a pixel electrode electrically connected to the thin-film transistor, a gate line disposed on the first substrate and electrically connected to the thin-film transistor, a data line electrically connected to the thin-film transistor and divided into at least two portions such that the channel-forming area is disposed between the two portions of the data line, and a connection portion electrically connecting the two portions of the data line to each other, in which the thin-film transistor includes a gate electrode branched from the gate line and overlapping the channel-forming area, a semiconductor pattern overlapping the gate electrode and contacting the two portions of the data line so that the channel-forming area is disposed in the semiconductor pattern, and a drain electrode electrically connected to the pixel electrode and

Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, a plurality of first spacers disposed between the first and second substrates, and a plurality of second spacers disposed between the first and second substrates to maintain a cell gap between the first and second substrates in cooperation with the first spacers. Each first spacer includes a first sub-spacer integrally formed with the first substrate and a second sub-spacer disposed on the second substrate that overlaps the first sub-spacer.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate includes a gate line, a data line, a thin film transistor, a pixel electrode and a common electrode. The common electrode includes a shielding portion which overlaps one of the gate line and the data line. The second substrate includes an electrostatic preventing pattern. The electrostatic preventing pattern contacts the liquid crystal layer and overlaps the shielding portion.
