Big patch on screen, hardware failure?

My Macbook pro screen (2018 or 2019 model) is showing a multi-coloured patch on the lower left hand corner that is persistent and appears when I turn it on. Is this indicative of a hardware failure on my mac's screen and should I consider bring it in for repair?


Thanks.
