A display apparatus includes a first substrate to be exposed to external light; a second substrate opposing the first substrate; a gate line arranged over the first substrate such that the gate line is located between the first and second substrates; and an anti-reflective layer. The anti-reflective layer is arranged between the first substrate and the gate line. The anti-reflective layer includes an organic layer and an inorganic layer, and the organic layer includes a light absorber configured to absorb light. The inorganic layer overlaps with the organic layer and has a refractive index smaller than that of the gate line.
