Hoping someone can help as I'm clueless on this

I was gutting out my loft after not being up there in a few years and I found a 7" car monitor so stripped it down to repaint the shell to match the car,

After cleaning the screen just before assembly I noticed a scratch on the matt coated screen after took a closer look I noticed the matt screen was just a sticker over the gloss screen so my bright idea was to peel the matt coating off but once back together the screen was just bright white, at first I thought I'd broke the screen until I decided to stick one half of the coating back on and I could read what's on the screen also if I turn the coating 90° the colours all swap round

Anyway due to it not costing me anything I'm not to bothered about it but can I just buy a new coating to stick back on???

it's a polarizing lense, it's on all LCD panels (wrist-watches, calculators etc) You may find a large sheet on ebay to replace it with. As you found out, turning it 90' reverses the effect (i used to play around with these at school...back in the 80's!)
