The polarizing layer includes, but is not limited to, a polarizing layer formed of polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and a color-changeable material. The embodiment of the disclosure can enable the polarizing layer to have polarizing characteristics and transparent characteristics by stretching the polarizing layer doped with the color-changing material. The polarizing layer doped with the color-changing materials is located between the first transparent electrode layer and the second transparent electrode layer, and the polarizing layer can have different transparencies by adjusting the voltages at the two ends of the first transparent electrode layer and the second transparent electrode layer. For example, at a first voltage, the polarizing layer has a first transparency; at a second voltage, the polarizing layer has a second transparency.
