Display apparatus

A display apparatus comprising:

• a first substrate having a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area, the display area including pixel units disposed therein for defining an image that is to be optimally viewed from a top plan view sense relative to the display area;
• and
• a second substrate facing the first substrate,
• wherein each of the pixel units comprises:
• a gate line segment having a first width in the plan view sense, a longitudinal length of the gate line segment extending in a first direction;
• a data line segment extending in a second direction different from the first direction;
• a color filter;
• a pixel electrode disposed on the color filter;
• and
• a storage electrode disposed on the first substrate, the storage electrode extending in the second direction and having a second width in the plan view sense,
• wherein a first gap dimension measured in the first direction and between two adjacent pixel electrodes is smaller than the first width of the gate line segment is overlapped by the gate line segment in the plan view sense, and
• wherein a second gap dimension measured in the second direction and between two adjacent pixel electrodes is smaller than the second width and is overlapped by the storage electrode segment in the plan view sense.
