Offering High-quality, Cost-effective Desktop Presentations  
– the VPL-DX11 and VPL-DX10 Data projectors 
Packing high brightness and ease of use into their highly sophisticated, compact body, the 
VPL-DX11 and VPL-DX10 powerful tabletop projectors offer a great quality-per-cost balance for 
desktop presentations.
The VPL-DX11 provides a high brightness of 3000 lumens, while the VPL-DX10 provides 2500 
lumens.  This high brightness, coupled with excellent picture quality in XGA (1024 x 768) 
resolution, allows users to make powerful desktop presentations in virtually any setting and 
under any lighting conditions.  
Thanks to their light weight of approximately 4 lb 11 oz (2.1 kg), the VPL-DX11 and VPL-DX10 
projectors can be carried easily from room to room, and are ideal for use in small to medium-
sized presentation rooms, including corporate conference rooms and school classrooms.
FEATURES
High Picture Quality and Bright Images
By combining a new generation of inorganic LCD 
panels that utilize Sony’s BrightEra™ technology* 
with a 3LCD projection system, the VPL-DX11 and 
VPL-DX10 offer high picture quality and brightness.  
The VPL-DX11 provides 3000 lumens brightness, 
while the VPL-DX10 provides 2500 lumens 
brightness, and both projectors offer XGA 
(1024 x 768) resolution.
* 
BrightEra is a brand name for the category of LCD panels that 
have pixels with large aperture ratios and that adopt inorganic 
alignment layers.
Compact and Lightweight Design
The VPL-DX11 and VPL-DX10 adopt a compact and 
lightweight body design, which offers a small 
footprint of approximately 11 
5/8 x 2 29/32 x 8 1/32 
inches (295 x 74 x 204 mm) – smaller than the A4 
size format – and a light weight of approximately     
4 lb 11 oz (2.1 kg).
3LCD Projection Offers Amazing Color 
Performance
The VPL-DX11 and VPL-DX10 adopt the 3LCD 
projection system that uses three LCD panels.  This 
system allows the projectors to present bright and 
natural images.  It provides high light transmission 
and excellent color reproduction with high color 
light output
+.  It also provides smooth gradients in 
dark areas, and even helps prevent color breakup 
or the rainbow effect
++.
+  Color light output is a metric that measures a 
projector’s ability to deliver color.  Developed by 
color scientists using the same approach as 
light output (brightness) measurement, color 
light output provides a simple, accurate, and 
easy-to-understand way to evaluate projector’s 
color performance.
++ The rainbow effect may appear as blurring or 
the separation of colors.  It can only be seen in 
images projected by 1-chip sequential color 
projection systems.

Simple and Easy-to-use Control Panel
The control panel of both projectors is located on 
top of the unit, with all the essential controls 
positioned in a line, allowing users to operate the 
projector easily.  These controls include the Power 
On/Standby, Input Select, and Menu keys, plus the 
Zoom and Focus rings, and Lens Shutter lever. 
 
Lens Shutter
The VPL-DX11 and VPL-DX10 come equipped with 
a mechanical lens shutter that can mute the 
projection of images onto the screen.  Using the 
Lens Shutter lever situated on the upside of the 
projector, the operator can close the lens shutter 
and turn the projector screen completely dark – 
useful if there is a pause in the presentation, or the 
user wants to divert audience attention away from 
the screen.  The Lens Shutter function is also useful 
for protecting the projector’s lens when not in use 
and when transporting the unit to a new location.
Off & Go
Once a presentation is complete, the VPL-DX11 and 
VPL-DX10 can be moved to the next location 
immediately by simply turning the projector off and 
unplugging the AC power cord.  There is no need 
to wait for the fan to turn off.
Short Projection Distance
The VPL-DX11 and VPL-DX10 come equipped with a 
short focal-length lens, which makes it possible to 
project images from a short distance.  For example, 
an 80-inch* image can be projected from a 
distance of approximately 7.9 feet (2.4 meters).
