Once the screen substrate has fractured it will basically keep whatever image was on it when it broke (won't change when you do something that should result in a different screen i.e. if you hit a home button). E-ink maintains a static state (image) without any continuous input whereas an LED screen requires constant refresh (redrawing) of the image or else it disappears. You may get part of the screen changing to lines after you broke it because part may still be getting signals to change where most of the screen isn't. The curved line in the image is the giveaway that the substrate it broke. Not sure if the device can detect a broken screen and go into an error state, but that could explain flashing -- is it the screen flashing or a power light?
