Abstract:
1. A display apparatus comprising: a first thin film transistor (TFT) and a second TFT which are disposed in a display area of the display apparatus; a first signal transmission line disposed in a peripheral area surrounding the display area, the first signal transmission line being electrically connected to the first TFT for transmitting signals to the first TFT; and a second signal transmission line adjacent to the first signal transmission line and electrically connected to the second TFT for transmitting signals to the second TFT, wherein in a first portion of the peripheral area, the first signal transmission line is parallel to the second signal transmission line and is spaced by a first gap from the second signal transmission line; in a second portion of the peripheral area, the first signal transmission line is parallel to the second signal transmission line and is spaced by a second gap from and the second signal transmission line, wherein the second gap is greater than the first gap, wherein the first signal transmission line includes a first segment including: a first linear segment, a connecting segment extending from the first linear segment, and a second linear segment extending from the connecting segment, wherein the first linear segment and the second linear segment are not straight-line extensions of each other, wherein the first signal transmission line further includes a second segment and a first bridge pattern, the second segment and the first segment are formed of different materials, and the second segment and the first segment physically contact the first bridge pattern and are interconnected by the first bridge pattern, and wherein the first bridge pattern is spaced by the second gap from the second signal transmission line.
