In a year, laser disks may begin replacing tape decks in automobile dashboards. Beginning next summer, amateur photographers who want to see their home movies on the television screen may be able to choose from an array of smaller, lighter and less expensive video cameras. And consumers hunting for their own telephones may find many models that are indistinguishable from small computers, sporting display screens for messages that, among other things, can tell which room in a house is on fire. The consumer electronics industry is on a roll. Scores of companies are jumping into a market that totaled $19.2 billion in factory sales last year, a 26 percent increase over the previous year. Most prominent among them are the biggest names in photography, including Kodak and Polaroid, which are using the International Winter Consumer Electronics Show here to mark their first entries into the most promising sector of electronics in 1984: home video cameras and videotape.

With his smart business suits and scholarly horn- rimmed glasses, Prime Minister Zhao Ziyang, who arrived in Washington today for the start of talks Tuesday with President Reagan, hardly looks like the tough administrator of the world's most populous nation. His talent, first in the provinces and now at the center of power, has been to dare to try something different. Mr. Zhao, 64 years old, is the forerunner of a younger generation of Chinese officials willing to bend the constraints of traditional Marxist ideology to make things work. He refined and put into effect - sometimes with spectacular success - the economic policy envisioned by China's paramount leader, Deng Xiaoping.

In a project inspired by ''Adam,'' the television movie about the abduction and murder of a 6-year-old Florida boy, five NBC television stations last night began showing weekly profiles of missing children. The first segment discussed 10- year-old Tiahease Jackson, who vanished on her way to a delicatessen near her Staten Island home last August. A different child will be featured each Monday. The profiles will run on the stations' local news programs. Each segment will have a picture of a child, background on the case and a toll-free number that viewers can call if they think they have seen the child.

The former chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said yesterday that she was considering suing over what she said was an illegal attempt to block her re-election to the organization's board. But the charges by the former officer, Margaret Bush Wilson, were denied by Benjamin L. Hooks, executive director. Mrs. Wilson's charges came as the association announced the election of new officers and board members at a news conference in Manhattan. The charges represented the latest chapter in a long dispute over management and control of the N.A.A.C.P. involving Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Hooks and the board.
