Corner Radius property of UILabel is not working in iOS 7.1

I am setting the cornerRadius property for UILabel. Its working fine all version of iOS < 7.1. Following code i have used,

UILabel *originaltagLbl = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(startX, startY, 100,30)];    
[originaltagLbl setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"MuseoSans-500" size:15]];
[originaltagLbl setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];
[originaltagLbl setTextColor:UIColorFromRGB(0xffffff)];
originaltagLbl.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
originaltagLbl.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
originaltagLbl.layer.borderColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
originaltagLbl.layer.borderWidth = 1;
[scrollView addSubview:originaltagLbl];

if i use this, just simply displaying the label as rectanglular box, So how to set the corner radius of UILabel in iOS 7.1

Add the next line to your code:

// Swift:
originaltagLbl.layer.masksToBounds = true

// Objective C:
originaltagLbl.layer.masksToBounds = YES;

For information see this SO answer, or read documentation.

It's true that clipsToBounds works in 7.1, but the problem is in situations where you're scrolling/animating it's really slow and makes everything laggy.

Setting the background color on the layer instead of the uiview is all that is needed.

Try setting the UILabel's clipsToBounds property to YES
