Weird spots on display

BiswajitZ — Tue, 12 Jan 2016 17:28:02 GMT

It seems Xperia devices are famous for bugs whether it may be software or hardware.
Few hours ago I noticed something weird on my display. It looks absolutely normal from the front but when I tilt the display i see some kind of damp spots all over the screen, its clearly visible only on white screen. Other than that everything is fine.
Is it a hardware problem or any software bug?

@BiswajitZ

That's not a bug nor a hardware issue, what you see is the digitizer/touchscreen.

As for the first comment

If you check other brand's forums you could say the same about them.

I know about the digitizer but I don't think its the digitizer. As digitizer can be seen even if the screen is off but i can see those spots only if the screen display is white or light colors

The screen seems as if it has been covered with a very thin layer of dew inside the display.

Found another issue, just now I was closely looking the display from every angle and found that there are some kind of colors in the middle of the screen like a rainbow, even this can only be seen if the screen is white. I'm worried about it. It was just 3 months old.
@uliwooly
I tried to take a picture of the spots but it is not visible in the picture.

That rainbow effect isnt a bug either " This is normal and its not coming from inside the screen its actually light bouncing on the glass that causes this phenomena. So depending on the lighting you can experience this."

I hope you are right but when I press the screen a bit hard and slide through the screen the color moves away for few mins or hours.
