Tiny black speck on MacBook Air M4 display

I have noticed a tiny black speck on the display of my MacBook Air M4, which I purchased approximately one year ago. The mark appeared suddenly and remains visible on the screen. I have gently tried cleaning the area with a microfiber cloth, but the mark does not disappear.

The speck is visible against both white and black backgrounds. I also took a screenshot and checked it, but the mark does not appear in the screenshot, suggesting that the issue may be related to the physical display rather than software.

There is no clear indication of whether the mark is a defective pixel, a surface defect, or an issue beneath the display glass. I would like Apple to inspect the display and identify the cause.
