Why do spots appear on the mobile screen?

Publicado por Pablo

There are several reasons why spots appear on mobile phones and tablets, today on the ilevante.com blog we will look at some details of why this happens.

Actually, the issue occurs mostly on phones, as they are the most exposed to pressure from objects or liquid spills. In addition, they are the ones that most commonly slip from hands without a doubt.

Having spots on mobile phones is quite complex. It represents damage to the LCD screen, which makes it difficult to manage applications, something that also happens when the touchscreen does not work or when lines even appear on the display. However, these technical faults can perhaps be solved without going to a repair professional.

Below you can see different types of common spots, the causes that can provoke them, and some solutions to try.

How to fix and remove spots from the mobile screen

Technical problems with spots are due to different factors. Therefore, one can talk about a classification of spots. Generally, we talk about black, purple, yellowish, blue, or white spots.

It is a defect related to the liquid itself of the LCD screen. What is your problem? Here is the solution.

Black spots on the mobile LCD screen

In the case of black spots, this problem usually occurs because the capsules containing the liquid of the LCD screen have "burst." However, it can be reversed and "encapsulated" again. For this, you can usually use a cloth with distilled water.

It is important to do this when the phone is turned off. That is, the cold of the distilled water and rubbing the surface will take care of clearing up the phenomenon caused by a fall of the phone or excessive humidity. Another option that works is placing your phone on or next to a television.

Again here, the phone must be turned off. The radiation will take care of "encapsulating" the liquid again.

Purple spots

This is properly the worst of the issues that a screen can face. When the spots on the mobile are purple, it is because there is a mixture of the liquids themselves of the LCD screen. This, coupled with the radiation and coloration released by the pixels, causes this color to form.

So, it is a more serious damage compared to the other cases. If this is your case and you want to keep your phone, the best option is to completely replace the screen. It is very likely that your mobile device has fallen repeatedly.

Yellow spots

Regarding yellow spots on the mobile screen, the problem is due to excessive humidity. It is a problem somewhat closer to what black spots are. What happens is that the humidity is dispersing in the liquid of the screen, reducing the vitality of its coloration.

If your phone has just been splashed or moistened by water or another liquid, then what you need to do is dry it well. The option of placing it in rice can also be useful to extract the humidity. Although you can also open it to perform a direct drying.

Blue spots

Blue spots on the mobile phone are caused by two reasons. The first is that it has suffered a strong fall, while the second is that the screen has been heavily moistened. Here, as in the previous case, the smartest thing to do is to place your mobile phone inside abundant rice.

It is considered a very effective and home remedy in these cases. However, this will involve leaving your phone for a period of at least two days. After that time, the most appropriate thing would be to slightly open your phone to finish clearing the humidity.

If the spot persists, the best option is to replace the screen, which in these cases is usually fragmented.

White spots

Finally, white spots on the display of the phone or tablet are considered one of the least complex problems. These spots usually occur due to very strong pressure. For example, when the screen makes intense contact with the keys in your pocket. It can also happen that the battery is swollen.

This last detail about the swollen battery is perhaps one of the most important to consider. It is also an opportunity to analyze if your battery is presenting a deficiency.

In any case, the simplest option to solve this problem is isolating your phone from objects that exert pressure.

These solutions we have seen for the different types of spots according to the color are valid for all brands of mobiles we find in the market such as: Apple iPhone, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Sony, Realme, LG, Honor, OnePlus, Google, TCL, Alcatel, Nokia, Motorola, CAT, InnJoo, Lenovo, Microsoft, Elephone, HTC, ZTE, Vivo, Asus, Wiko, Haier, etc. Therefore, if you have a mobile from these brands, these solutions will work for you as mobile screens are largely manufactured using the same elements.
