The following is a list of Bravia television products manufactured by Sony. In 2005 they discontinued their previous "WEGA LCD" line, and all Sony televisions are now known as Sony Bravia. Starting in 2013, the model year is encoded in a letter of the alphabet, so all 2015 models have a letter "C" in their name.
This list includes LCD, OLED and microLED display manufacturers. LCD uses a liquid crystal that reacts to an electric current blocking light or allowing it to pass through the panel, whereas OLED/microLED displays consist of electroluminescent organic/inorganic materials that generate light when a current is passed through the material.

An LED-backlit LCD is a liquid-crystal display that uses LEDs for backlighting instead of traditional cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) backlighting. [1] LED-backlit displays use the same TFT LCD ( thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display ) technologies as CCFL-backlit LCDs, but offer a variety of advantages over them.
