*1. NS5-TQ series (high luminance TFT) luminance is better than that of NS5-SQ series by about 110 cd/m².
*2. Contact your nearest OMRON representative to replace the backlight.
*3. This is the estimated time before brightness is reduced by half at room temperature and humidity. It is not a
guaranteed value.
The service life will be dramatically shortened if PT is used at low temperatures. For example, using the PT at
temperatures of 0°C will reduce the service life to approximately 10,000 hours (reference value).
