GENERATING A DYNAMIC VIRTUAL MASK LAYER FOR A REGION OF A DISPLAY

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for generating a mask layer for a display of a computing device. For example, a method includes retrieving, from a non-volatile memory of a computing device, region information indicative of dimensions of a region of a display not having functional pixels and indicative of a position of the region on the display. The method further includes generating a mask layer having a size, shape, and position based on the region information. The method further includes composing an image based on the mask layer and one or more layers, the mask layer preventing display of any portion of the one or more layers that overlap with the mask layer. The method further includes outputting the image on the display.
