A liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a first base substrate, a pixel electrode disposed on the first base substrate, a second base substrate facing the first base substrate, and an overcoat layer disposed on the second base substrate. The overcoat layer may include at least one of polysilsesquioxane, polysilazane, or derivatives thereof. The LCD further includes a common electrode disposed on the overcoat layer to form an electric field with the pixel electrode, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first base substrate and the second base substrate.
