Purple spots on phone screen

These purple spots have been appearing on my phone's screen after I dropped it, I was wondering if this can be fixed with a screen replacement or if there is a bigger problem.

I'm with Brian in saying that a new screen will almost certainly fix the problem with your display. What you're seeing is pressure damage from the components inside the phone behind the screen. It looks to me like the screen fell face down, and the weight of the phone smashed the inside parts against the back side of the screen hard enough to damage it. Compare these pictures to yours and you'll see that you can make out definite features, most notably the battery and the fingerprint sensor.
