A display apparatus includes a thin film transistor having a top-gate structure and a storage capacitor that are arranged on a first substrate. An upper electrode of the storage capacitor has a size larger than a size of a lower electrode, so as to cover an entire surface of the lower electrode in a plan view. Thus, electric field caused by static electricity may be prevented from accumulating at a corner of the upper electrode when the electric filed flows from the lower electrode to the upper electrode, thereby preventing an intermediate insulating layer from being burnt.
