A display apparatus includes a substrate; a lower conductive layer including a protective pattern and an auxiliary conductive pattern on the substrate; a buffer layer on the lower conductive layer; an active pattern on the buffer layer and overlapping the protective pattern; a first insulation layer on the active pattern; and a first conductive layer on the first insulation layer, the first conductive layer including a gate electrode overlapping the active pattern and a load matching line overlapping the auxiliary conductive pattern.
