Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Do you experience the same behaviour if you boot your phone into safe mode?

If yes, I suggest that you perform a software repair on your phone via PC Companion:

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/

In PC Companion you press start on Support Zone > Start on Update the phone/tablet software > Repair phone/tablet (the blue clickable link in the message) > Follow these steps without having your device connected to the PC.

Follow the instruction that appears in the program and do not connect your device until this guide tells you how to connect it.

So what was the solution, did you find a fix? My phone does the same think, a very dim flickering on the left side of the screen when in stanb-by mode.
