1. A display apparatus comprising:
a plurality of light-emitting diodes in a display area;
a gate driver in a non-display area around the display area, the gate driver including a plurality of stages;
a conductive line in the non-display area and elongated along an extension direction;
an insulating layer above the conductive line; and
a connection line above the insulating layer and electrically connecting the conductive line with a transistor of a first stage from among the plurality of stages, the transistor including a semiconductor layer and a gate electrode layer;
a gate insulating layer interposed between the semiconductor layer of the transistor and the gate electrode layer of the transistor; and
an interlayer insulating layer interposed between the gate insulating layer and the insulating layer,
wherein, in a plan view, the connection line is elongated along the extension direction with a first portion of the connection line entirely overlapping the conductive line along the extension direction,
in a cross-sectional view, the conductive line is interposed between the interlayer insulating layer and the insulating layer.
