Morphology
The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'visual' (related to sight or images) modifies 'area' (a region or part), so the phrase clearly denotes a region used for visual content. This adjective+noun construction is a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
The noun visual area for screens comes from the idea of a marked area on a display where pictures or video appear. Designers call that space the visual area because it is the place that 'shows' visual content.
