Patent ID: 7990511

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a display substrate having a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area, the display substrate including: a base substrate; a plurality of gate lines formed on the base substrate and extending in a first direction; a gate insulating layer covering the gate lines; and a plurality of data lines formed on the gate insulating layer and extending in a second direction to cross the gate lines; an opposite substrate facing the display substrate; a seal line disposed between the display substrate and the opposite substrate in the peripheral area to combine the display substrate with the opposite substrate; a first data signal line formed from a same layer as the gate lines, and disposed in the peripheral area on a first side of the gate insulating layer; a second data signal line formed from a same layer as the data lines, and disposed in the peripheral area on a second side of the gate insulating layer which is disposed substantially opposite the first side of the gate insulating layer; and a driving circuit part providing data signals to the data lines through the first and second data signal lines, wherein the first and second data signal lines overlap the seal line, and the first and second data signal lines extend in a substantially same direction as the first direction, and portions of the first data signal line and the second data signal line overlap each other.
