A display apparatus includes an array of fiber-type semiconductor light-emitting elements. Each of the fiber-type semiconductor light-emitting elements includes a layered structure having a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, and a semiconductor light-emitting layer at least part of which is sandwiched by the first and second electrode layers, and a fiber for supporting the layered structure and for propagating light emitted from the light-emitting layer. The display apparatus also includes driving connectors including a switching element or a plurality of first and second conductive lines, which are electrically connected to the first and second electrode layers, respectively, for driving the plurality of the fiber-type semiconductor light-emitting elements.
