A display apparatus includes pixels each including first and second sub-pixels having different transmittances from each other under a same gray scale, gate lines commonly connected to the first and second sub-pixels to apply a gate signal to the first and second sub-pixels, a first data line applying a first data signal to one of the first and second sub-pixels, and a second data line applying a second data signal to the other one of the first and second sub-pixels. The first sub-pixel has the transmittance lower than the transmittance of the second sub-pixel, and the second sub-pixel connected to an i-th gate line of the gate lines is disposed between the first sub-pixel connected to the i-th gate line and the first sub-pixel connected to an (i+1)th gate line of the gate lines.
