Any clue why there are ghost like lines that move with my swipes?

So on my iPad mini 2 I recently came across a problem where there are these lines that correspond with things on my screen (eg when I’m on my home screen I swipe to the next page and the vertical lines I have move with the icons), I want to try fix it but I really need to know what to replace. Any help is appreciated.

It just looks like a bad lcd screen to me, but I' don’t know about any way to find out for sure besides replacing it with a known good one. If that doesn’t fix the issue it might be a more troublesome logic board fault. I don’t know anybody in repairs who could tell what the problem would be without opening and testing the device.

@pcitechie Happy fixing, hope it will be an easy one ;)

Oh and if it (very rarely) goes without the lines for a minute is that still an lcd/logic board problem?

@arbaman sorry for the ping

@pcitechie No problem. Lcd issues show in a variety of different ways, fading away image, lines, stripes, just name one. Yours really seems to be an Lcd issue, I wouldn't be overly concerned about the logic board at this stage.
