Patent ID: 8810490

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a plurality of pixels arranged in first and second directions, each pixel comprising at least one dot: a plurality of data lines extending in the first direction, each data line being positioned between two adjacent dots; a plurality of gate lines extending in the second direction, each gate line being positioned between two adjacent dots; and a first bridge line to connect the second dot to the (m+2) th data line, wherein, among dots arranged in the first direction between an m th data line and an (m+1) th data line, at least one first dot is connected to one of the m th data line and the (m+1) th data line, and at least one second dot is connected to one of an (m−1) th data line and an (m+2) th data line, and wherein a dot is positioned between the (m−1) th data line and the (m+2) th data line, and a dot is positioned between the (m−1) th data line and the m th data line, wherein the first dot is connected to the (m+1) th data line, and the second dot is connected to the (m+2) th data line, wherein the first bridge line comprises a material different from a material of the data lines and the gate lines, wherein the first dot comprises a first thin film transistor and a first dot electrode, the second dot comprises a second thin film transistor and a second dot electrode, and the first and second dot electrodes comprise a material identical to the material of the first bridge line, and wherein the first dot comprises a first contact electrode branching from a drain electrode of the first thin film transistor and a second contact electrode branching from a drain electrode of the second thin film transistor, and the second dot comprises a third contact electrode symmetrical to the second contact electrode about the (m+1) th data line and a first dummy pattern symmetrical to the first contact electrode about the (m+1) th data line.
