Non-rectangular display apparatus with data lines that change direction

Abstract

A display apparatus includes a plurality of pixels arranged in rows and columns with a plurality of gate lines extending in a first direction and connected to the pixels, and a plurality of data lines connected to the pixels. In the display apparatus, certain data lines disposed between pixels are arranged in a first row to an e-th row with such data lines including a plurality of column data lines extending in a second direction crossing the first direction and a plurality of row data lines extending in the first direction. The row data lines are electrically connected to the column data lines. The column data lines extend in the second direction between pixels arranged in the e-th row to an f-th row, where e and f are natural numbers and f is equal to or greater than e.
