A colour liquid crystal display (LCD) module with a diagonal measurement of the screen of 16,5 cm (6,5 inches) with mounting devices on the side, an aluminium heat sink on the back, with dimensions of approximately 16 × 10 × 2 cm. The module comprises a low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) receiver, a light emitting diode (LED) backlight with integrated brightness control, a LED driver circuit, printed circuit boards with control electronics for pixel addressing only comprising a microcontroller, and a 10-pin LVDS interface. The display has the following characteristics:
The module does not incorporate any video signal processing assembly, for example, a video converter, a scaler or a tuner. The module is designed for incorporation into a dashboard of a motor vehicle for displaying video signals. |
8529 90 92 |
Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2(b) to Section XVI, Note 2(f) to Section XVII and by the wording of CN codes 8529, 8529 90 and 8529 90 92. As the module does not have any video signal processing components, classification as an incomplete monitor under heading 8528 is excluded. The module is not classifiable in heading 8531, because it is not considered to be an electrical visual signalling apparatus of heading 8531 or a part of such an apparatus in view of its characteristics (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 8531). The module comprises a backlight unit, LED driver circuit and printed circuit boards with control electronics for pixel addressing only. Consequently, classification under heading 9013 is excluded (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 9013 (1)). As the module is designed for displaying video signals it is a part classifiable under heading 8529 (see also the CN Explanatory Notes to subheading 8529 90 92). It is therefore to be classified under CN code 8529 90 92 as a part suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of heading 8528. |
