Liquid crystal display and method of manufacturing the same

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a substrate;
• a thin film transistor comprising one or more terminals and disposed on the substrate;
• a pixel electrode connected to one of the terminals of the thin film transistor;
• a roof layer disposed to face the pixel electrode;
• a liquid crystal layer comprising liquid crystal molecules disposed in a plurality of microcavities between the pixel electrode and the roof layer;
• a lower insulating layer disposed between the roof layer and the liquid crystal layer;
• and
• a capping layer disposed on the roof layer;
• wherein the plurality of microcavities are disposed along a first row and a second row adjacent to each other, a trench is disposed between the first row and the second row, and at least one bridge connecting the first row and the second row is disposed at the trench, and
• wherein the at least one bridge is disposed at a same layer as one of the roof layer or the lower insulating layer, and
• wherein the capping layer is disposed in both the lower surface and the upper surface of the bridge.
