This is not a malfunction. (Effective dots: more than 99.99%)

Handling of Broken Glass and Liquid Crystal Leakage

If the LCD panel gets damaged, crystalline liquid leakage may occur, or scattered broken glass may result. Do not touch broken glass or crystalline liquid (which is toxic), with bare hands as cuts or poisoning/skin irritation may occur. Also, do not let glass fragments or leaked crystalline liquid get into your eyes or mouth. Should either contact your eyes or mouth, rinse the contacted area thoroughly with water and consult your doctor.
