Sony is proud to introduce a series of SXRD™ ultra high-resolution projectors,
which offer supreme picture quality and reality for applications that require
highly sophisticated visuals. This state-of-the-art Sony projector series,
comprising the SRX-S110, SRX-S105, SRX-R110, and SRW-R105 models,
provides a new solution for applications such as command & control,
simulations, computer visualizations, planetarium and museum exhibitions,
and much more.
Each model is equipped with three Silicon X-tal Reflective Display (SXRD)
imaging devices and delivers an amazing resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels
(H x V) – more than four times the resolution of consumer HDTV (1920 x 1080,
16:9 wide screen format). This high-resolution capability allows full HD images
to be displayed simultaneously in four quadrants or in a twin “side by side”
display.
The projectors also offer a contrast ratio of more than 1800:1. In addition, the
SRX-S110 and SRX-R110 models provide a high brightness of 10,000 ANSI
lumens*, while the SRX-S105 and SRX-R105 models offer a brightness of 5,000
ANSI lumens.
The use of twin Xenon lamps combined with multiple gamma curves of 1.8,

2.2, and 2.6 means they offer pure, high-quality color tonal reproduction.
The SRX-S110 and SRX-S105 models – each with one pre-installed DVI input
module – have a 1080/60P display capability available only with these units,
making them ideal for high-end computer graphic-based projection applications.
On the other hand, the SRX-R110 and SRX-R105 models – with no pre-installed
input modules – are more suited to video-based projection applications.
Sony SXRD 4K projectors are the ultimate tool for projecting images in
large-venue applications.

ANSI lumens is a measuring method of the American National Standards Institute IT 7.228. Since there is no uniform

method of measuring brightness, specifications will vary among manufacturers.

The state-of-the-art technology for high picture q

Silicon X-tal Reflective Display
(SXRD) imaging device

The SXRD device used by the SRX-Series projectors is a

1.55-inch* Liquid Crystal on Silicon based imager developed
by Sony using cutting-edge manufacturing technology.

High resolution 4K

Sony SXRD display devices deliver the exceptionally high
resolution of 4K (4096 H x 2160 V pixels at 1.896:1 aspect
ratio), more than four times as many pixels as full HDTV
(1920 x 1080, 16:9 wide screen format).
The SXRD device helps to achieve this resolution by
incorporating nearly 8.85 million pixels per imager at a
narrow pitch of 8.5 micrometers. These high-density pixels,
which are one quarter the size of pixels projected using
typical 2K resolution projection systems (2.2 million pixels),
provide an amazing picture. Even in multi-screen mode, full
2K resolution per quadrant is possible.
The resolution available from the Sony SRX-Series projectors
enables a new level of visual projection.

High 1800:1 contrast ratio

The SRX-Series projectors offer a high contrast ratio of more
than 1800:1* through the use of Sony’s unique SXRD device.
The SXRD imaging device itself achieves a contrast ratio of
over 4000:1.
This stunning picture quality makes the projectors ideal for
applications in which dynamic range is essential.
The high contrast ratio has been achieved through two key
technologies – the exclusive ‘Vertically Aligned Liquid
Crystal’ system and an extremely thin liquid crystal cell gap.

The contrast ratio is measured from a screen offering a gain of 1.0.

Vertically Aligned Liquid Crystal
system

In every type of projector system, displaying absolute black
is a major issue in order to achieve a high contrast ratio.
In other words, the contrast ratio of a projector depends on
how effectively the light from the source can be blocked so it
does not leak through the imager.
All Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) devices control the amount
of light to be projected by applying an electric field to the
liquid crystal gap. In typical LCD devices, black is produced
when an electric field is applied across the liquid crystal cell
gap. However molecules near the surface of the glass
substrate may not be accurately controlled due to the
influence of the alignment film. This is not an issue for bright
images. However, when displaying dark images, light may
tend to leak from the LCD device, since the molecules near
the surface are less accurately controlled. This results in a
creamy black instead of a deep black.
The SXRD device does not exhibit these characteristics.
This is because the Vertically Aligned Liquid Crystal system
displays black when the electric field is not applied and
because all molecules are in the correct alignment, the
polarized light alignment is also optimized. The direct result
is a far deeper black level, leading to a high contrast ratio.
