As illustrated, you are seeing inconsistencies in the screen backlight diffuser. If the inconsistencies are an issue, the only remedy is replacement of the iPad screen assembly.


Be aware that the screen is the single most expensive component of your iPad. Unless you have benefit of an active AppleCare+ plan, an out of warranty repair will be expensive:
