Purple and black spreading throughout my phone screen

I dropped my phone yesterday on the concrete at school and the glass didn't crack. It wasn't until I was walking home that i noticed a purple smudge on my screen. I restarted my phone to see if it was a bug and it was still there. Now the purple has spread to 80% of my phone screen and is starting to turn brown and black. I'm not too sure what part of my Galaxy Note 3 is broken and how can I fix it? Should I back up my stuff just in case?

Re: Purple and black spreading throughout my phone screen

Welcome to Android Central! Back up or sync all of your data now. The screen will probably soon be unusable. You'll need to get the screen replaced--bring the phone to a repair shop. And in the future, I would strongly consider a good case.
