Main Products and Prototypes Being Showcased



Home Entertainment & Sound
 The new 4K OLED BRAVIA® A8F Series comes equipped with a 4K HDR image processor X1™Extreme together with the Sony's unique Acoustic Surface™ technology that vibrates the display and enables sound to be output directly from the TV screen, employed in last year's acclaimed A1 Series. It adds to the lineup of 4K OLED BRAVIA TVs with the new design that minimizes the footprint allowing A8F to be positioned in a wider range of locations. It provides an immersive and seamless integration of image and audio as only Sony can. 

The X900F Series of BRAVIA 4K LCD TVs also come with X1 Extreme. Through the new X-Motion Clarity technology, moving images are precisely controlled in order to minimize blur, and it keeps fast action scenes clear and smooth. With a large screen size of up to 85-inches1, you can enjoy the fast-moving action of a movie or sport content in blur-less, high quality images on a big screen.

The prototype of X1™ Ultimate next-generation picture processor will also be on display. This has twice the real-time processing power compared to the current X1 Extreme. By bringing out the best of both LCD and OLED display panels, it seeks to deliver the highest level of picture quality in BRAVIA history.  At the event, an 8K display featuring X1 Ultimate will also be showcased.  Combined with Sony's unique backlight technology, our prototype 8K display demo shows off real-time processing of 8K HDR content as well as a peak brightness of 10,000nits, the highest in the HDR format. 

HT-Z9F and HT-X9000F are slim sound bars that match beautifully when placed alongside your BRAVIA. Both sound bars support Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X™, the latest audio formats. Equipped with Sony's groundbreaking Vertical Surround Engine technology, the front speakers of each model can produce 3-dimensional acoustics all by themselves. In particular, HT-Z9F is the world's first 3.1ch sound bar to support Dolby Atmos.2  By combining them with the Dolby Vision™-compatible3 A8F series and X900F series, as well as UBP-X700 4KUltra HD Blu-Ray™ player, it brings out a truly immersive experience that blends 4K HDR picture quality with the latest audio format.

Furthermore, the WF-SP700N wireless noise-canceling stereo headset brings unparalleled audio quality that supports an active lifestyle, boasting the world's first4 noise-cancelling and splash-proof (IPX4)5 functionality among truly wireless headphones. Now you can devote your full attention to the sport or exercise at hand and enjoy your favorite music without worrying about outside noise, sweat, or rainwater. The Ambient Sound mode also allows you to let in external sound during a workout and listen to music. Additionally, WI-SP600N was also announced as a sports-centric offering in the behind-the-neck style wireless headphone category. 

Also revealed was an increase in voice assistant-compatible devices. Sony is planning to bring Google Assistant compatibility6 to last year's acclaimed 1000X series of wireless noise canceling headphones as well as the newly announced WF-SP700N and WI-SP600N. Through this increase in our compatible device lineup, we hope the Google Assistant will provide smart features to our customers in all parts of their daily lives, be it in the home or on the go.

Additionally, Sony will conduct an audio assistant demonstration on location, taking place in a simulated living room and kitchen and featuring a lineup of Sony's audio visual devices. In addition to playing music and video content, the Google Assistant on BRAVIA7 and last year's LF-S50G smart speaker can also conveniently connect to a range of different IoT devices and services to control home appliances, deliver the latest news, conduct online shopping, and more. BRAVIA also supports voice-operated control through Amazon Echo8, Google Home, and LF-S50G.

Automotive Image Sensors (Concept) 
Sony's high-capability image sensors give cars the gift of sight in this new demonstration showcasing the possibilities for contributing to the advent of fully autonomous driving. As demand rises for technology that allows automobiles to detect their surroundings in 360-degrees during various driving situations, Sony's advanced image sensor technology can capture information about its environment faster, more accurately, and more precisely than the human eye. Visit the Sony booth for a look at our vision of a future of automated driving, using sensor technology that exceeds the human eye.


AI x Robotics 
At its Corporate Strategy Meeting in June 2016, Sony announced that it would aim to combine its existing strengths in areas such as video and audio technologies, sensors, and mechatronics, with AI, robotics, communications and other elements to offer new proposals.
