A flexible printed circuit board that can reduce detachment when a flexible printed circuit board is attached to a display panel, and reduce a work cost, and simplify process, and reduce a tearing of the flexible printed circuit board due to a stress concentrated on a specific area of the flexible printed circuit board, and a display apparatus including the same. The flexible printed circuit board includes a base film having a notch at one side, on at least one side, and a plurality of rows of impact absorbing parts spaced apart from each other along the edge of the notch. The impact absorbing part provides a pattern layer one surface or both surfaces of the base film or a pattern hole of penetrating through the base film.
