1. A display device comprising:

  • a substrate comprising a display region and a non-display region surrounding the display region; and

    a gate driver comprising a gate driving apparatus disposed in the non-display region,wherein the gate driving apparatus comprises a first stage which outputs a first gate output signal and a second stage which outputs a second gate output signal,wherein the first stage comprises;

    a transistor comprising a gate electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode; and

    a dummy transistor comprising a dummy gate electrode, a dummy source electrode and a dummy drain electrode,wherein the gate electrode receives the second gate output signal, andthe dummy source electrode is connected to one of the source electrode and the drain electrode to prevent static electricity from reaching the first stage,wherein the first stage further comprises;

    a first output unit which provides the first gate output signal; and

    a second output unit which receives the second gate output signal,wherein the dummy transistor is disposed in the second output unit.
