US 12,604,626 B2 · Display apparatus including branch electrodes connecting gate lines to gate electrodes

Abstract

A display apparatus includes a first pixel circuit including a first driving transistor and a first data-write transistor. A second pixel circuit includes a second driving transistor and a second data-write transistor. A first gate line and a second gate line each extend primarily in a first direction. A first data line extends primarily in a second direction crossing the first direction and is configured to transfer a first data signal to the first data-write transistor, a second data line extending primarily in the second direction and is configured to transfer a second data signal to the second data-write transistor. A first branch electrode electrically connects the first gate line to a gate electrode of the first data-write transistor. A second branch electrode electrically connects the second gate line to a gate electrode of the second data-write transistor.
