Why do flatscreen/LCD monitors display random colours and bizzare shapes or patterns upon being cracked?
In: Technology
Like others have mentioned, it can be the glass breaking and causing rainbows (from diffraction). You asked specially about Liquid Crystal Displays, the liquid can flow around when the display is (more accurately, the pixels are) broken.
“Flatscreen” is a physical shape and not a method of building a display – these can have many methods. LCD is one type, the others will have different reasons for weird behaviors when they break.
