A display apparatus includes a display panel comprising a plurality of pixels, each of the pixels comprising a thin film transistor connected to a gate line and a data line and a display element connected to the thin film transistor, a driving voltage generator configured to generate a gate-on voltage and a plurality of gate-off voltages, a timing controller configured to divide an initial driving period into a plurality of setting periods and output a gate-off voltage corresponding to each of the setting periods, and a gate driver circuit configured to generate a gate signal using the gate-on voltage and the gate-off voltage corresponding to a setting period and output the gate signal to the gate line.
