About tubes; data/graphic display tubes, monochrome; data/graphic display tubes, colour, with a phosphor dot screen pitch smaller than 0.4mm

HS code 854040 covers a range of specialized electronic tubes, including monochrome and color data/graphic display tubes. These tubes play a crucial role in various electronic devices, from computer monitors and televisions to industrial control systems. As technology continues to advance, the demand for high-quality, high-resolution display tubes remains strong, making this industry an important component of the broader electronics and technology sectors.

Production process

The production of data/graphic display tubes involves several key steps. First, the glass envelope or bulb is formed, which serves as the main structure of the tube. Next, the cathode, grid, and anode components are precisely assembled within the glass envelope. For color display tubes, the phosphor coating on the screen is a critical step, as it determines the quality and resolution of the displayed image. Finally, the tube is evacuated and sealed, ensuring the proper functioning of the internal components.

Production inputs

The production of HS code 854040 tubes requires a range of specialized inputs, including high-purity glass for the envelope, refractory metals like tungsten for the cathode and grid, and phosphor materials for the screen coating. Additionally, advanced manufacturing equipment, such as vacuum chambers and precision assembly tools, are essential for the intricate construction of these tubes. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in electronics, materials science, and precision engineering.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 854040 are monochrome and color data/graphic display tubes, which are used in a variety of electronic devices. These tubes are often consumed by manufacturers of 852851 Monitors and projectors, cathode-ray tube type, 852852 Monitors and projectors, other than cathode-ray tube type, and 852859 Monitors and projectors, not incorporating television reception apparatus. The high-quality, high-resolution display capabilities of these tubes make them essential components in the production of modern electronic devices and displays.
