Display panel and display apparatus including the same

A display apparatus comprising:

• a gate driver configured to generate a plurality of gate signals;
• and
• a display panel connected to the gate driver, the display panel comprising:
• a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix including a plurality of pixel rows and a plurality of pixel columns;
• a plurality of data lines extending in a first direction parallel with the plurality of pixel columns, each of the data lines connected to at least two adjacent pixels included in a single pixel row;
• a plurality of gate lines extending in a second direction parallel with the plurality of pixel rows and driven by the plurality of gate signals, each of the gate lines connected to at least one pixel included in a single pixel row, at least two of the gate lines disposed between two adjacent pixel rows;
• and
• a plurality of terminals configured to receive the plurality of gate signals to transmit the plurality of gate signals to the plurality of gate lines,
• wherein some of the plurality of terminals are connected to some of the plurality of gate lines with a cross-coupled structure.

A display panel comprising:

• a plurality of pixels in which each pixel has a first side comprising a short-side and a second side comprising a long-side substantially perpendicular to the short side, the plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix including a plurality of pixel rows and a plurality of pixel columns;
• a plurality of data lines extending substantially parallel to a short-side direction of the pixels, and each of the data lines is connected to at least two adjacent pixels in one of the plurality of pixel rows;
• and
• a plurality of gate lines extending substantially parallel to a long-side direction of the pixels, each of the gate lines is connected to at least one pixel included in a single pixel row, and at least two of the gate lines are disposed between two adjacent pixel rows.
