Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for generating, in a display panel, a virtual mask layer around a cutout region for a front camera. The front camera may be positioned under the display panel and receive light through the cutout region. The mask layer may hide defects of the cutout region that does not have functional pixels. The disclosed techniques may improve aesthetic appearance of displays having punch-hole cameras with reduced hole sizes and increased production quality conformance rate.
