9. A computer-implemented method for reducing or eliminating a tearing effect of an image on an electronics display of a wearable computing device, the wearable computing device having a display drive integrated circuit, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a blanking time for the display drive integrated circuit that is based on one or more parameters of at least one of the image or the display drive integrated circuit, the one or more parameters of the display drive integrated circuit comprising, at least, a maximum speed that the display drive integrated circuit can process the image in a frame, wherein the blanking time is a time period in which the display drive integrated circuit receives pixel data of the image from an external controller;
receiving an indication to rotate the image on the electronics display 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 display drive integrated circuit displays the image on the electronic display so as to avoid a tearing effect of the image on the electronic display.
