About Millicandelas per square metre
The millicandela per square metre (mcd/m²) equals 10⁻³ cd/m². The luminance of a moonless night sky is ~10⁻³ cd/m²; a quarter-moon sky ~10⁻² cd/m². OLED screens in deep-black mode and unlit LCD panels measure a few mcd/m². Also the range for very dim indicator lamps. 1 mcd/m² = 10⁻³ cd/m².
About Millilamberts
The millilambert (mL) equals 10/π cd/m² ≈ 3.183 cd/m². Historically used in the United States to specify projection screen luminance and oscilloscope phosphor brightness. A projection screen with luminance 1 mL ≈ 3.18 cd/m². Largely superseded by cd/m² and foot-lamberts in modern display standards. 1 mL = 10/π cd/m².
