LOL
yea
change the screen
or try washing it..
i had too with n95
**edit
by washing, i mean disassemble the screen and wash the screen only
not the whole cell since u were "smart" enough to get alcohol in in the first place
if it was pure ethanol then it well evaporate over time fairly easily. I'm not sure that putting it in a desiccant like rice would do anything unless it is water. I say give it some time if it's not that annoying it may just disappear over time.
I would be hesitant to let alcohol contact the screen.
Alcohols degrade some plastics, & certainly cloud some clear plastics.
Dry it out in a slightly warm area, not under a bright light, & hope for the best.
Also remember that water is a large component of alcohol, & not good for electronics.
Just to be pedantic, water is not a large component of alcohol but it is a large component of alcoholic drinks. Also water itself is not dangerous for electronics I can pour pure H2O over a clean powered on PC without a problem. it is ionised impurities in water that make it dangerous. Just me being a pedantic a**.

True enough - alcohol can degrade but it will not destroy
without a lot of time to work unhindered.
It is useful elswhere, though.

As we work with several million dollars worth of electronic equipment
deployed across hundreds of square kilometers of area in
the remote swamps and coastlines of Asia,
we often end up with waterlogged circuitboards and other equipment.
Every stinking day we get equipment this way.
If the water is freshwater (from a swamp, stream or rain)
the damage is possible to reverse by washing in distilled water,
rinsing in alcohol and scrubbing away residues,
and then rinsing finally with water again
followed by _slowww_ drying in sunlight or in warm dry box....
... unless of course the power was on when the water went in,
- or - the water that got into was saltwater
in which case the unit is best used for boat anchors or paperweights.
Once upon a time we used ulrasonic cleaners,
but they usually ended up shredding crystals and other things,
plus the instanteous localized pressure-waves could break seals
on the old style capacitors, and end up driving moisture deep
into the PCB where it would remain for all eternity.
Display screens are notorious for being fiddly and not always
completely recoverable - they do not like much of anything,
but sometimes they will self-heal given a dry environment
and a bit of physical vibration (which can dislodge particles)

Most lens cleaners are a mixture of 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50% water. I've been using that for almost a year to clean my n900 without problem.
(blah)
