Sharp LC-46D64U TV has screen drip patterns?

My Sharp LC-46D64U LCD TV has some very strange drip patterns on its screen. Does anyone know what causes this and can I fix it by getting underneath the Bezel/Clear Cover?

If it is something underneath the clear cover, do I need to remove most of the screws from the back cabinet to remove the bezel/cover or is there a trick to pry it off from the front?

I have researched a little and I'm wondering if this is just water damage to the light guide plate, diffuser film, prism film or polarizer?

I say this because there is a good tv image across the whole screen - just with the annoying drip patterns in the background.

Perhaps moisture condensed inside while tv was stored flat in a self-storage unit?
