Since first conductive portion 101 is electrically connected to functional device 12 and second conductive portion 1101 is electrically connected to electrochromic layer 13, when electrical continuity is maintained between first conductive portion 101 and second conductive portion 1101, functional device 12 and electrochromic layer 13 may be maintained in an electrically conductive state. Thus, upon power-up use of the functional device 12, the electrochromic layer 13 may be energized to assume the transparent state, and upon power-down non-use of the functional device 12, the electrochromic layer 130 may be de-energized to assume the light-blocking state, and the switching efficiency of the electrochromic layer 13 between the transparent state and the light-blocking state is extremely high.

Correspondingly, the electrochromic layer 13 may be provided with a plurality of second conductive parts 1101 at positions opposite to the plurality of first conductive parts 101, so that the second conductive parts 1101 and the first conductive parts 101 at corresponding positions may be turned on by pressing different positions on the housing 11 of the electronic device, so that the electrochromic layer 13 may realize different power-on voltages, exhibit different transparencies, and realize different photographing effects, thereby improving the user experience.
