The development history of electronic components is actually a condensed history of electronic development. Electronic technology is a new technology developed at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It has developed most rapidly and been widely used in the 20th century. It has become an important symbol of the development of modern science and technology.

In 1906, the American inventor De Forest Lee invented the vacuum triode (electron tube). The first generation of electronic products took electronic tubes as the core. At the end of the 1940s, the first semiconductor triode was born in the world. It is small, light, power-saving, long life and other characteristics. It was quickly applied by various countries and replaced the electronic tube in a large range. In the late 1950s, the first integrated circuit appeared in the world, which integrated many electronic components such as transistors on a silicon chip, making electronic products more miniaturized. Integrated circuits have rapidly developed from small-scale integrated circuits to large-scale integrated circuits and very large-scale integrated circuits, thus making electronic products develop in the direction of high efficiency, low energy consumption, high accuracy, high stability and intelligence. Since the four stages experienced by the development of electronic computer can fully explain the characteristics of the four stages of the development of electronic technology, the following describes the characteristics of the four stages of the development of electronic technology from the four stages of the development of electronic computer.
