Abstract: A wearable computing device includes an outer covering, a housing, an electronic display configured to display an image, and a display drive integrated circuit (DDIC) comprising a processor and a memory device. The memory device(s) includes a blanking time programmed therein based on one or more parameters of the image and/or the DDIC, which generally refers to the time period in which the DDIC receives pixel data of the image from an external controller. The memory device stores instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations, including receiving an indication to rotate the image by a certain angle, upon receipt of the indication, starting to receive a transmission of the pixel data of the image from the external controller, and completing the transmission of the pixel data of the image during the blanking time and before the DDIC displays the image on the electronic display so as to avoid a tearing effect of the image on the electronic display.
