Claim 0:
1. A display apparatus, comprising:
a base substrate including a display area in which an image is displayed, and a peripheral area adjacent to the display area;
a semiconductor layer including an active pattern disposed on the base substrate;
a first insulation layer disposed on the base substrate on which the active pattern is disposed;
a first conductive layer including a gate pattern disposed on the first insulation layer;
a second insulation layer disposed on the first insulation layer on which the gate pattern is disposed;
a second conductive layer disposed on the second insulation layer, the second conductive layer including an electrode of a thin film transistor in the display area; and
a planarization insulation layer on the second insulation layer, the planarization insulation layer contacting a side surface of the electrode of the thin film transistor, and having a top surface that is even with, and that exposes, an entire top surface of the electrode of the thin film transistor.
