SXRD (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) is Sony's proprietary variant of liquid crystal on silicon, a technology used mainly in projection televisions and video projectors. In the front and rear-projection television market, it competes directly with JVC's D-ILA and Texas Instruments' DLP. Sony has discontinued the production of all of its rear-projection televisions, including those which utilized SXRD display chips, in favor of flat-panel sets utilizing LCD and OLED displays. Sony still produces SXRD front-projectors, however.

The following SXRD-branded products have been released or announced:
