iOS crash, screen distortion after impact, reset then 100% working?

Hey guys, something really odd happened today. I dropped my iPhone 4S running 6.1.2, and it hit the ground from about 1.5 meters high. At first I was just thankful none of the glass broke, but when I looked at the screen it had this orange haze to it, it was pixelated like an overcompressed JPG and it had all these white black and grey vertical lines running through it. I was certain the display had kicked the bucket, but then it faded to black, and reboot to the Apple logo. After a few minutes it started up again, and everything was 100% normal. No issues with the display, no weird idiosyncrasies with the software. I'm completely at a loss for what could have possibly happened. Anyone have any ideas?

hey...was trying to be a gentleman and let a lady through the door while holding the phone in the same hand I was holding the phone in...the 4S decided it can fly and *BAM* splat on the floor.judging by the sound I thought "dang, there goes the screen", but the screen didn't crack so though "phew-happy days" and went ahead and pressed the button and well.... distorted colours of all kind of lines, unreadable, but still was able to answer a call. Unlucky, this has not restored to it's original state by itself and the fact I got the phone second hand from my mate there is no warranty so let this be a lesson to all you guys out there- manners don't pay lol...
