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 Kilocandelas per square metre
The kilocandela per square metre (kcd/m²) equals 1 000 cd/m². The scale for HDR displays and high-brightness monitors: VESA DisplayHDR 1000 requires 1 kcd/m² peak; professional HDR mastering monitors reach 1-4 kcd/m²; an overcast sky measures ~3-8 kcd/m²; a fluorescent tube ~7 kcd/m². 1 kcd/m² = 10³ cd/m².
