Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/映象管 vs 显像管
CRT used in TV or computer monitor · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 管 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 映象管; on the Mainland it is 显像管 - both point at “CRT used in TV or computer monitor”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 映象管、顯像管 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
