A multicolor electrochromic structure, comprising a working electrode, an electrolyte and a counter electrode, the electrolyte being distributed between the working electrode and the counter electrode, and the working electrode comprising an electrochromic layer;
- wherein,
- the electrochromic layer comprises a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface which are arranged face to face in parallel;
- a single dielectric layer is arranged between the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface;
- the dielectric layer consists of only electrochromic material;
- the dielectric layer is arranged on a metal reflective layer, the first reflective surface is a first surface of the dielectric layer, the second reflective surface is a bonding interface between a second surface of the dielectric layer and the metal reflective layer, and the first surface is opposite to the second surface;
- the first reflective surface, the second reflective surface and the dielectric layer form a single optical cavity;
- and when incident light falls in the optical cavity, a phase shift of a reflected light formed on the first reflective surface and a reflected light formed on the second reflective surface is
