Please, connect your iMac on an external monitor and tell us if the video output is normal. It's the first step to troubleshoot a screen issue. The issue could be related to a bad GPU (graphic processor unit) located on the logic board or a screen internal component such as LVDS cable or the LCD panel. You can exclude the inverter and backlight failure if your screen still has lightning.

Look at this first then tell us what kind of lines, in what direction, what color and anything else you think we may need.
