There appears something like a scar (damaged or dead pixels) on my LCD screen, where Ubuntu launcher positions. The scar exactly fitting Ubuntu launcher edges and icons. It seems a permanent scar and it stays even if I load other operating systems.

Can this damage be a cause of Ubuntu launcher?

I know this is a stupid question, but I decided to ask here because this is exactly fitting Ubuntu launcher edges and icons.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Samsung LCD.

My system details as follows:
