The present application provides a display apparatus having a display area and a black matrix area surrounding the display area. The display apparatus includes a first display substrate and a second display substrate opposite to each other and assembled together. The first display substrate includes a first base substrate, and a black matrix on the first base substrate and in the black matrix area. The second display substrate includes a second base substrate, and an array of a plurality of thin film transistors on the second base substrate for driving image display in the display apparatus. The black matrix has a serrated edge surrounding the display area.
