µcd/m² = cd/m² × 1000000
About Candelas per square metre
The candela per square metre (cd/m²), informally called the nit, is the SI coherent unit of luminance. A typical laptop screen is 250-500 cd/m²; an HDR TV reaches 1 000-4 000 cd/m²; a clear blue sky is ~3 000-8 000 cd/m². Luminance is the photometric quantity directly perceived as brightness. 1 cd/m² = 1 nit.
About Microcandelas per square metre
The microcandela per square metre (µcd/m²) equals 10⁻⁶ cd/m². Used in precision dark-sky photometry and in measuring the luminance of unlit passive surfaces. OLED deep-black levels are typically 0.0001-0.01 cd/m², about 100-10 000 times larger than this scale. 1 µcd/m² = 10⁻⁶ cd/m².
