Hello~ Usually a line appearing on your screen is an indication of a hardware issue. Have you force restarted your iPad?

Please clarify "technical display". Posting a screenshot would be helpful, as this will help contributors understand precisely what you see.

Take a screenshot on your iPad - Apple Support


You can post a screenshot, suitably redacted (using markup tools) as needed to obscure any personal or sensitive information, using the image button that you'll see at the bottom of the message editor:



If the item or lines are not present in the screenshot image, then you have demonstrated that you have a hardware issue that will require repair. If the lines are visible in the screenshot, the something other than a hardware fault will be the cause.


Note: When reviewing the image, rotating the iPad screen orientation by 90°, from Portrait to Landscape, will ensure that the image does not coincide with screen defects if present.


If the test indicates that a hardware fault, a visit to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store is recommended - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad. This will likely inform your next steps:
