My Canon PowerShot SX540 shows rainbow-like colors on the LCD when I’m taking or reviewing photos, especially in very bright parts of the image. What causes this, and is there a setting to turn it off?

In your comment you mention that the colors appears everytime where there is too much light. The manual on page 86 mentions an Overexposure Warning (for Image Highlights).
You could try turning it off by pressing the down button when in playback mode.

This is likely not a screen fault. On the PowerShot SX540, bright overexposed highlights can trigger the camera’s highlight/overexposure warning during playback, which can look like flashing or colored areas on the LCD.
If it happens mainly where there is very strong light, check the camera’s manual setting for the overexposure warning (image highlights). According to the community answer, you can try turning it off in playback mode by pressing the down button.
If the effect only appears as a warning overlay and not in the actual saved image, the camera is probably working normally.
