It has cracked and your picture looks exactly like other eInk screens which have cracked. One of the internal glass layers inside the eInk screen has cracked. The top layer of the eInk screen is some kind of plastic but internally it has glass. Something has hit or pushed onto the screen and it has shattered the glass where you see all the diagonal lines join together in the middle.

Some people have had manufacturing defects but they don't look like what your screen does. They had missing columns or rows and none of the diagonal patterns which are indicative of a cracked glass layer.
