Glo Stripes only in the sun

You'll have to see my image to know what I mean. But when I'm reading in direct sun, stripes will start to form from the bottom of the screen going up. They can run about 3/4 of the way up the screen, but they are lighter the higher up they go. It can be 1 to 4 stripes in the same locations. They start to form after a few page turns, very light at first and then getting darker and darker.

Refreshing the screen by bringing up the menu gets rid of the stripes, so obviously I could set my refresh more often to avoid it. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the reader, obviously they don't want you to set refresh up to 100 pages since their menu selection only goes up to 6.

But I'm just curious if anyone else has seen these stripes and why they form in the same locations and mostly why are they only visible when reading in direct sunlight? Those stripes are never visible when reading indoors no matter how I try to see them or how seldom I refresh the page and always happen when reading outdoors.

Just mostly a curiosity thing at this point.

Edit: Actually, I wonder if it's caused by the device being hotter when outdoors? Even the bezel gets quite warm to the touch when reading outdoors.
