Description

Nit (nt): Common Term for Display Brightness

The nit is a non-SI unit of luminance, equivalent to one candela per square meter (cd/m²). It is widely used in the electronics and display industries to describe the brightness of screens and monitors. Higher nit values indicate brighter displays, which are essential for visibility in various lighting conditions.

Understanding nits is important for consumers and professionals when selecting display devices, as it directly affects viewing comfort and image clarity. For instance, outdoor displays require higher nit levels to remain visible under sunlight, while indoor screens can operate effectively at lower brightness levels. Evaluating nit specifications ensures that displays meet the intended usage requirements.

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.
