Claim Text:
1. A display apparatus comprising: a first base substrate comprising a display area, a peripheral area adjacent to the display area, and a data bonding area, the peripheral area including a first peripheral area and a second peripheral area; a second base substrate coupled to the first base substrate; a pixel arranged in the display area; a first driver arranged in the first peripheral area and configured to apply a driving signal to the pixel through a gate line; a second driver arranged in the data bonding area of the first base substrate and configured to apply a data signal to the pixel through a data line; a cell gap compensation pattern arranged between the first base substrate and the second base substrate; and a coupling member disposed between the first base substrate and the second base substrate in the peripheral area to cover the first driver and the cell gap compensation pattern and couple the first base substrate to the second base substrate, wherein the second peripheral area includes fan-out areas and fan-out peripheral areas, and each of the fan-out peripheral areas is arranged between two adjacent fan-out areas among the fan-out areas, wherein the data line is arranged on the first base substrate extending from the second driver to the pixel across the fan-out areas, and electrically connected to the second driver to apply the data signal to the pixel, and wherein the cell gap compensation pattern is disposed in the second peripheral area except the fan-out areas without overlapping the gate line and the data line.
