Abstract
A display apparatus, which may prevent a defect of a pixel due to external electrostatic discharge, includes: a first pixel including a first node; a second pixel neighboring the first pixel and including a second node; and an always-off thin-film transistor including a first electrode, a second electrode, and a gate electrode, the first electrode being connected to the first node of the first pixel, the second electrode being connected to the second node of the second pixel, in which a turn-off voltage is applied to the gate electrode.
Claims20
A display apparatus comprising:
- a first pixel including a first node;
- a second pixel neighboring the first pixel and including a second node;
- and
- an always-off thin-film transistor including a first electrode, a second electrode, and a gate electrode, the first electrode being connected to the first node of the first pixel, the second electrode being connected to the second node of the second pixel, wherein a turn-off voltage is applied to the gate electrode.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of pixels each arranged in a first direction and including a light-emitting element, a first node, and a second node, a driving voltage being applied to the first node, and a first initialization voltage being selectively applied to the second node;
- and
- a plurality of always-off thin-film transistors alternately arranged with the plurality of pixels in the first direction,
- wherein each of the plurality of always-off thin-film transistors physically connects the first node of a first pixel to the second node of a second pixel from among two neighboring pixels of the plurality of pixels.
