Abstract

A display apparatus including a shielding conductive layer is disclosed. The display apparatus includes a substrate, a driving thin film transistor disposed on the substrate, wherein the driving thin film transistor includes a driving semiconductor layer and a driving gate electrode, a scan line overlapping the substrate and extending in a first direction, a data line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, wherein the data line is insulated from the scan line by an insulating layer, a node connection line disposed on a same layer as the scan line, and a shielding conductive layer disposed between the data line and the node connection line, in which a first end of the node connection line is connected to the driving gate electrode via a first node contact hole.
