A display apparatus includes a base substrate, an active pattern on the base substrate including a source region, a drain region, and a channel region that is doped between the source region and the drain region, the channel region including polycrystalline silicon, and a gate electrode overlapping the channel region of the active pattern. The channel region may include a lower portion, an upper portion, and an intermediate portion between the upper portion and the lower portion, and a dopant density of the lower portion may be 80% or more of a dopant density of the upper portion.
