I understood that this problem happens if you go inside with the plastic card along the edges more than 1 cm. I inserted the card too much (14 mm) and I touched something that broke the display.
REMEMBER: when you try to remove the display DO NOT insert the plastic card along the edges for more than 1 cm.
At the moment i do not know if i will have to replace the screen or not. This could be a bad issue...

@ ghiuni - He had to replace the display assembly as he had damaged it in the process of taking it off. If you review the questions searching for 'Thin Series' iMac's you'll find quite a few people have damaged theirs as well. Sorry.

My late 2013 iMac now sports 2 x 21" monitors after experiencing the same issue.
Leave it to the experts to replace HDDs
