Damaged Monitor

[Malachite]

A couple of months ago my Packard Bell LCD monitor fell forwards and landed sensitive side down onto my rather chunky keyboard. I checked it over and there were no signs of damage ...not a scratch nor a dint!
However, during the following days little lines of blue 'seepage' started to move downwards, almost like liquid, confined to pixel-width channels. The two areas of these markings are limited to top right (small patch about 2" across) and bottom left (about the same). The lines got longer, gradually BUT now they seem to be shrinking! Is anyone able to shed some light on what is going on here?
TIA
Mal.

Think it's busted, but others may be able to give more informed answer

It has a 'Liquid Crystal Display' you have damaged some of the 'crystals'.

If they're now shrinking I can only suggest keeping your fingers crossed. Maybe the final result will be minimal display damage.

That's what I was thinking OG. One of the two areas has completely cleared up and I think the other (bigger) patch is shrinking.

A self repairing monitor - crikey whats next ?

Dunno Bazile ...perhaps the ability to email smells to people? :-)

From what little I've gleaned from having a read round, it seems that the liquid that seeped out when damage occurred is gradually evaporating allowing you to see more of what lies beneath.

So not quite healing itself as such.

There are self healing materials out there, which in itself is fascinating.

No reason smells can't be e-mailed to a PC with the correct peripherals. After all you don't send, say, a picture now, just data telling your graphics card and monitor how to display a picture. Likewise it should be possible to send data on fragrance that a peripheral with bottles of basic smells could mix to release the required scent.

OG. I agree, the scent basics could be little tanks, much like the ones in a printer that contain the basic olfactory equivalent of colours. What fun it could be to send nice (and nasty) smells and all in between :-)
