A display apparatus includes a timing controller configured to output a gate control signal through gate control lines, a gate driver configured to output gate signals in response to the gate control signal provided from the gate control lines, pixels configured to receive data voltages in response to the gate signals, and first and second static electricity prevention parts connected to the gate control lines in parallel configured to discharge a static electricity. Each of the first and second static electricity prevention parts is configured to form current paths, which are smaller in number than a number of the gate control lines, to discharge the static electricity and the static electricity configured to be discharged by the first static electricity prevention part has a polarity different from a polarity of the static electricity configured to be discharged by the second static electricity prevention part.
