A liquid crystal display includes: a substrate including a major surface; a thin film transistor disposed over the substrate; a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor and disposed over the thin film transistor; a common electrode facing the pixel electrode; a roof layer disposed over the common electrode; a microcavity disposed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode; and a liquid crystal material contained in the microcavity, in which a side wall of the microcavity has an angle of 80° to 90° with respect to the major surface.
