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.
About Candelas per square foot
The candela per square foot (cd/ft²) equals 1/0.09290304 cd/m² ≈ 10.76 cd/m². Used in US lighting engineering; an illuminated office ceiling panel has luminance ~4-8 cd/ft². The ANSI ergonomic limit for computer workstation background sources is ~340 cd/ft². 1 cd/ft² = 1/0.09290304 cd/m².
