Sister was messing around with a UV light and noticed this on her phone screen under it. My phone does not have this (all I get is a grid of dots I'm pretty sure are to do with the touch screen).

OCA (optically clear adhesive) is spread as a thin layer between the digitizer and display. Any gaps would be easily visible with the naked eye.

Also, it’s cured with UV, but I’ve never seen it fluoresce.
