1. A light emitting display apparatus comprising:
a plurality of subpixels provided on a substrate;
a reference line arranged in a first direction on the substrate;
a scan line arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction on the substrate;
a reference branch line connected with the reference line and partly arranged in the second direction; and
a dummy metal layer disposed on the substrate and including a region overlapping with the scan line and a region overlapping with the reference branch line,
wherein, when the dummy metal layer is electrically connected with the scan line, and the reference line and the reference branch line are electrically disconnected from each other, the reference branch line functions as a bypass signal line transferring, through a bypass path, a scan signal applied through the scan line, and
wherein the reference branch line is electrically connected with the reference line by a reference connection line arranged in the first direction, and when the reference branch line functions as the bypass signal line, the reference connection line is electrically disconnected from the reference line by a line cutting process.
