Black blotch in readout

I have a Craftsman digital multimeter that is in good shape and works great. The readout has a black blotch in it and makes it almost impossible to read. I don’t know what caused it and I have never dropped it. I could fix it if I could find a new readout component. Any suggestions?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?
