Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a first driving voltage line extending in a first direction on a substrate; a first common voltage line extending in the first direction on the substrate; a driving transistor connected to the first driving voltage line; a storage capacitor connected to the driving transistor; a light-emitting diode connected to the driving transistor and the storage capacitor; a second driving voltage line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, and connected to the first driving voltage line through a contact hole; and a first intermediate layer at an intersection region between the first common voltage line and the second driving voltage line. The first intermediate layer is located between the first common voltage line and the second driving voltage line.
