Abstract
Embodiments of this application provide a display panel and an electronic device. For the display panel, in an under-display photographing area, an electrochromic layer is disposed on a light-emitting side of a display layer, and the electrochromic layer does not overlap a pixel area in a direction perpendicular to a plane on which the display panel is located; a first electrode layer is disposed on a side that is of the electrochromic layer and that is close to the display layer, and a second electrode layer is disposed on a side that is of the electrochromic layer and that is away from the display layer; and the electrochromic layer has a first light absorption feature under action of a first voltage difference, and has a second light absorption feature under action of a second voltage difference.
