zebra stripes in the iphone 5 usually mean drop damage to touch ic. not repairable.
first try to make sure that it isn't something simple, like the connector popped off.

My phone wasn't dropped at all, this happened after I've popped up LCD backlight a little bit, then reconnected the phone and turned it on. Whola, touch is not working, display is gone mad...
"Touch not working" plus zebra stripes====just like I'm saying---damage to touch ic, or damage to the touch circuit.
But of course it could just be that the digitizer connector isn't seated well... that is the low-hanging fruit. Turn it off, disconnect battery and then reseat the screen.
I think Alaadin from Sarajevo should disconnect his screen, straighten those connectors, especially the digitizer's, then reconnect them, making sure the digitizer connector is not coming off when he connects the LCD's as he can't see it anymore at that point. I'd go with that first..

Ehhh I usually get the "zebra stripes", funny name gonna use that, from either a poor (3rd party vendor) part or from damage to the digitizer cable. I could also see damage to the digitizer socket being a contributor. You can also try to fix the zebra stripes from removing the display assemblies from their sockets, disconnecting the battery, re-connecting the battery, then re-connecting the display assembly. Also I have seen them go away over time. Just a little bit of them showing, when I did a friends phone, and they said "I don't care, you did this for free, and they went away each time within a day. With all of this being said. The purple haziness being described, is something I don't believe I've seen. Though the last time I fixed a friends phone, there was some redness. Which also went away

check your connector with a magnifying source and look inside the connector, check for bend pins on both connection ends. Make sure that the ribbon cable is properly seated. Explain this a "I've popped up LCD backlight a little bit," a bit better.

I've completly removed it from the LCD back, and put it back again.

UPDATE! I can see all those stripes even if the iPhone is turned off...

If you can see the lines even when the phone is completely off, then it appears when you adjusted the backlight that you damaged the LCD screen. You said that touch does not work as well, correct? If that's the case, you are going to need to check the logic board connections for both components and then we can go from there.

Touch would work just fine if there were no those lines, I know from my past experience.
