In this embodiment, the measurement unit 16 may be a timer. The timer may obtain time information. The main board 13 controls the corresponding light source 1221 to turn on or off according to the time information.

For example, when the acquired time information is 10 dots 11 minutes, the light source 1221 corresponding to the first light-transmitting hole 1111 located at the scale 10 is turned on, and the light source 1221 corresponding to the second light-transmitting hole 1112 located at the scale 11 is turned on. Therefore, the display of the time information can be realized by controlling the turning on or off of the light source 1221 by the main board 13. When the user needs to check the time, the user only needs to look at the rear cover 11. It can be understood that the time display function of the rear cover 11 can be in a normally open state, and a user can know time information by looking at the rear cover 11 at any time. Therefore, the electronic device 10 is convenient to use.

When the electric quantity is higher than a certain proportion, the main board 13 controls the light emitting color of the light source 1221 to be green. Alternatively, the main board 13 may set the light emitting color of the light source to other colors.

It is understood that in other embodiments, the measurement unit 16 may further include one or more of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an orientation sensor, and a volume meter. Therefore, the main board 13 can also control the on/off of the light source of the corresponding light hole to display temperature information, humidity information, direction information, volume information, and the like.

Referring to fig. 6, the electronic device 10 may further include a trigger unit 17. The trigger unit 17 is electrically connected to the main board 13. The trigger unit 17 obtains corresponding trigger information according to a predetermined action. The main board 13 controls the light source 1221 to be turned on or off. The main board 13 controls the corresponding light source to be turned on or off according to the trigger information of the trigger unit 17, so that the purpose of displaying information can be achieved.

It is understood that the triggering unit 17 may include a key, a sensor. When a user needs to check certain information, the user can press a key to trigger the main board 13 to control the corresponding light source 1221 to be turned on or off. The trigger unit 17 can effect switching between the respective information. The key may be a volume key.
