Description
Electronic components are primarily used to control the flow of electric current for information processing and system control. They are the smallest units that make up circuits, usually relatively simple and with a single function, such as capacitors and resistors.
Electronic devices, on the other hand, are more complex functional units composed of multiple components, with specific functions. Examples include integrated circuits and liquid crystal displays.
The indicator calculates the amount of foreign imports to Japan and can serve as a reference for assessing the supply and demand conditions of Japan and the overall electronics manufacturing industry.
The data is published by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).
