Question Just cracked my tablet screen, but why does it look that weird?

Hey, I damaged my Samsung Tab S7 FE recently. Unfortunately the cracks seem to slowly have gotten a weird black outline over a period of 48h.

That usually doesn't happen when the u crack a screen, right? What is the cause of it? Is there a way to remove the black stripes or anything else I can do (maybe to prevent them from getting larger)?

Thanks for your help

Call your local "u break we fix" type outlet and see what repair costs, if possible.

Another local one is "screen fixing repair".

I am not joking at all. We send our techs iPads in to these when they drop them and the repairs have been quite reasonable when they can, all things considered. They also will tell us if they can't fix them, free of charge.

The only thing you can do is replace the display panel.

can someone explain the cause of the black outlines that keep growing slowly but steadily? (kinda curious)

Separation in the layers.

Consider that your screen is multiple layers.

One of them is cracked.
Initially, that line was the width of the crack, no more.
As time goes on and you handle it, the screen flexes, and that separation gets wider....the black part you see.
