It’s called [moiré](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moiré_pattern). Basically the screen is made out of tiny individual squares called pixels, which are aligned in a grid, and your camera has a sensor that processes whatever you take a picture of into pixels as well. If the pixels-grid on your sensor misaligns with the pixel-grid on your screen you get these moiré lines.
