NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Candela per square metre

The candela per square metre (cd/m²) is the SI unit of luminance; nit is a non-SI name also used for this unit. It is often used to quote the brightness of computer displays, which typically have luminances of 50 to 300 nits (the sRGB spec for monitors targets 80 nits). Modern flat-panel (LCD and plasma) displays often exceed 300 cd/m² or 300 nits. The candela (symbol: cd) is the SI base unit of luminous intensity (that is, power emitted by a light source in a particular direction, with wavelengths weighted by the luminosity function, a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye). ... A square metre (US spelling: square meter) is by definition the area enclosed by a square with sides each 1 metre long. ... Cover of brochure The International System of Units. ... Measurement is the determination of the size or magnitude of something. ... Luminance (also called luminosity) is a photometric measure of the density of luminous intensity in a given direction. ... A monitor is an interface between the computer and the operator. ... The title given to this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. ...
