Sister was messing around with a UV light and noticed this on her phone screen under it. My phone does not have this (all I get is a grid of dots I'm pretty sure are to do with the touch screen).

Yeah the real issue for me is that in addition to not filling the screen, it’s also asymmetrical. So it can’t be something done on purpose.
Well if it was originally liquid and gets squeezed in between two thin parts during machine assembly, I could see it developing to be that shape.
That’s a good point. I don’t think it can be an adhesive, but maybe some other kind of layer?
Still odd that it’s fluorescent. If it’s that close to the front-facing camera (and meant to be spread over it), it would ruin any photo taken outside during the day.
