  • Patent number: 11948233
    Abstract: An image display method includes drawing a first graph in a trusted execution environment (TEE). The method also includes displaying the first graph on a first layer in a display screen. The method further includes drawing a second graph in a rich execution environment (REE). The method additionally includes displaying the second graph on a second layer in the display screen. The first layer is located above the second layer. The first graph includes a transparent area and a non-transparent area. The non-transparent area includes content drawn in the TEE. A display area that is on the second graph and that corresponds to the transparent area includes content drawn in the REE. When the first layer and the second layer are overlapped for displaying, the transparent area does not shield the content drawn in the REE.
