A liquid crystal display (“LCD”) and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The LCD includes a first insulating substrate, protrusion patterns spaced apart from each other on the first insulating substrate, pixel electrodes disposed on the protrusion patterns and having a cutout between the protrusion patterns, metal patterns disposed on the protrusion patterns and overlapping top surfaces of the protrusion patterns, a second insulating substrate facing the first insulating substrate, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first insulating substrate and the second insulating substrate.
