About Picocandelas per square metre
The picocandela per square metre (pcd/m²) equals 10⁻¹² cd/m². A theoretical subunit for precision photometric standards and astrophysical brightness modelling. Even the darkest measurable surfaces in calibrated laboratories have luminance many orders of magnitude above this scale. Used only in radiometric standard traceability chains. 1 pcd/m² = 10⁻¹² cd/m².
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.
