Strange Failure Mode
I have a cell phone I bought in late 2015 so it is showing its age - the battery lasts about 60 minutes (if I'm lucky) and now there is a strange distortion on the screen. I've never seen an LED screen with this type of failure before... It's a set of three vertical, parallel lines near the center of the screen. I'm not sure what would cause that... The lines only show up on light-colored backgrounds - if the background is black, the lines are not visible.
Close-up view (from about 1 to 2 cm away). From this close, it's very difficult to spot the lines, but they are there.
