How do I know if I need to replace the LCD?

I bought the iPad Air Front Glass/Digitizer Touch Panel Full Assembly kit. The screen glass is shattered and the touch screen does not work. How do I know if I need to replace the LCD as well? I’m asking because when I was searching for the guide, I saw a separate guide for LCD replacement.

Here is an image of my iPad. I'm just not sure what additional parts I now need to order if I have already bought the Front Glass/Digitizer Touch Panel Full Assembly kit assuming I also still need this kit.

LCD would need to be replaced as well if you see display artifacting on the screen such as:

Horizontal or Vertical lines appearing on the screen.
Black splotches on the screen.
Ghosting effect on text / graphics on the display.

If it looks fine then it’s just the digitizer touch screen glass needing replacement.

You do still need this kit to do the digitizer front glass replacement on a iPad Air. The LCD which is the display under the glass needs to be replaced as well so you'll need to order this too:
