A LCD is digital. Its optical elements are triggered by digital signals to display dots of red, green, and blue in varying intensities. But when a display is broken, an organic element is introduced as it decomposes, and the result can be quite beautiful.

Thoughts

Although technically broken and no longer fit for purpose, something new is emerging.

This particular LCD was (accidentally) damaged months ago, and this is how it looks today. Over time it has degraded; the fracture spread; the color bleeding.
