Description

Candela per Square Meter (cd/m²): Standard Unit of Luminance

Candela per square meter is the SI unit of luminance, measuring the luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface in a given direction per unit area. This unit is commonly used to describe the brightness of displays, screens, and illuminated surfaces, providing a standardized measure for evaluating visual performance.

In practical applications, cd/m² values are critical for calibrating monitors, televisions, and other display devices to ensure consistent brightness and image quality. Accurate luminance measurements contribute to visual comfort, energy efficiency, and compliance with industry standards in various sectors, including consumer electronics, broadcasting, and lighting design.

Stilb (sb): CGS Unit of Luminance

The stilb is a unit of luminance in the CGS system, where one stilb equals 10,000 candelas per square meter. Although it is not commonly used in contemporary applications, the stilb serves as a historical unit for measuring high-intensity luminance, particularly in scientific research and specialized fields.

While the SI unit cd/m² has largely replaced the stilb, knowledge of this unit is useful when interpreting older scientific data or working within specific contexts that utilize CGS units. Understanding the conversion between stilb and cd/m² ensures accurate communication and analysis of luminance measurements.
