Data driver including noise shielding lines and display apparatus having the same

A display apparatus comprising:

• a display panel configured to display an image;
• a gate driver configured to apply a gate signal to the display panel;
• and
• a data driver configured to apply a data voltage to the display panel, the data driver comprising:
• a data driving chip;
• a first data transmitting line and a second data transmitting line connected between a timing controller and the data driving chip, and configured to transmit a data signal from the timing controller to the data driving chip;
• a first shielding line disposed at a first side with respect to the first data transmitting line, a ground voltage being applied to the first shielding line;
• and
• a second shielding line disposed at a second side with respect to the second data transmitting line, the second side being opposite to the first side, the ground voltage being applied to the second shielding line,
• wherein the data driver further comprises a connecting portion that connects the first shielding line and the second shielding line to surround a first data pad and a second data pad connected to the first data transmitting line and the second data transmitting line, respectively.
