Dc-dc converter and display apparatus having the same

A display apparatus comprises:

• a display panel displaying an image;
• a direct-current-to-direct-current (DC-DC) converter comprising:
• an inductor to which an input voltage is applied;
• a diode connected to the inductor;
• a switching element connected between the inductor and the diode;
• a capacitor group disposed adjacent to the diode and comprising one or more capacitors;
• and
• an output voltage pattern connected to the diode and the capacitor group and which outputs an output voltage;
• and
• a display panel driver which drives the display panel using the output voltage of the DC-DC converter,
• wherein the capacitor group covers a first side of the output voltage pattern and a second side of the output voltage pattern opposite to the first side of the output voltage pattern
