Here’s a puzzle for the night crowd: What is this, or what do you want it to be?

mmm… Wondereye sees the immediate (and short lasting) effect of alcohol drying over a glass surface. Like a glass table being cleanned by a humid tissue with alcohol (that colorful spot on the left could be an alcohol drop thaty fell from the wet tissue)…
Oily substances produce the same effect with light rays (like a prisma) but I think that those yellow stains are more of the "burnning" (drying) alcohol rather than oil.
Sorry that my English on physics is so poor. In Alienish I could have explained it more clearly.

Bingo to Ivo from Puerto Rico!
This is a broken LCD screen on a Blackberry cell phone. The screen was black and white, not color. Princesse is correct: the brilliant colors come from thin-film iridescence, like a film of oil on water on the gas station asphalt after a fresh rain.
As I press the cracked screen with my finger, I squeeze the layers, which changes their thickness, and thus, the wavelength of light that generates constructive interference to produce the bright reflected color. The gradients and bubbles of color dance and squish around under the glass.
I call it the Crackberry.

ivO: get a photo of that dance…
itO: squid skins? do tell?
(two islanders with similar names…)
Here are some other views of the same small screen pressed in different corners. It reminded me of the moth’s wing.

Ivo!!!! My dear! "Felicitations"! 😉
I am, not much a LCD girl and I am a mobilephobic, so my approach was very archaic…
Here in Argentina the cell phone business is a case study… there are more mobile lines than the ordinary wired ones. This wtf snobists we have… Let me tell you that we are almost 40 million people from who more of than 50% is below poverty line.
Didn´t mean to spoil the party with this subject, but it really pisses me off!!! 0-(
