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 Nanocandelas per square metre
The nanocandela per square metre (ncd/m²) equals 10⁻⁹ cd/m². Represents luminance at the threshold of cooled photomultiplier tubes and avalanche photodiode detectors. The darkest OLED black levels (~10⁻⁴ cd/m²) are still five orders of magnitude brighter; this unit is used in single-photon counting photometry. 1 ncd/m² = 10⁻⁹ cd/m².
