Display apparatus and method of driving the same

A display apparatus, comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a first gate line disposed on the first substrate;
• a second gate line extending substantially parallel to the first gate line;
• a storage pattern disposed on the same layer as the first gate line and the second gate line;
• a data line crossing the first gate line and the second gate line;
• a first sub pixel electrode and a second sub pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate;
• a first thin film transistor comprising a first terminal connected to the first gate line, a second terminal connected to the data line, and a third terminal connected to the first sub pixel electrode;
• a second thin film transistor comprising a first terminal connected to the first gate line, a second terminal connected to the data line, and a third terminal connected to the second sub pixel electrode;
• a third thin film transistor comprising a first terminal connected to the second gate line, a second terminal connected to the second sub pixel electrode, and a third terminal connected to a first opposite electrode, the first opposite electrode overlapping with the storage pattern;
• and
• a fourth thin film transistor comprising a first terminal connected to the second gate line, a second terminal connected to the third terminal of the third thin film transistor, and a third terminal connected to a second opposite electrode overlapping with the first sub pixel electrode,
• wherein a width of the storage pattern is larger than a width of the first opposite electrode when measured along a line extending in a direction of the data line.
