Its quite possible that your Kindle needs to be charged. With eInk displays, power is not used to display an image or text. It is only used to change the display. Whatever was on the screen the moment the battery died will remain on the screen. Your battery may have run down and was only able to power the device long enough to partially rewrite the screen.
