A display apparatus and a multi-display apparatus having larger display areas. The display apparatus includes a first insulating substrate, as well as a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines on the first insulating substrate, where the plurality of gate lines is arranged to intersect the plurality of data lines. A plurality of storage electrode lines is arranged substantially parallel to the plurality of gate lines. A gate drive chip is mounted off of the first insulating substrate and electrically connected to the plurality of gate lines and the plurality of storage electrode lines. The gate drive chip is configured to apply a gate voltage to the gate lines and a storage voltage to the storage electrode lines.
