Candela per square metre Candela per square metre The candela per square metre (cd/m) is the derived SI unit of luminance. The unit is based on the candela, the SI unit of luminous intensity, and the square metre, the SI unit of area. Nit (nt) is a non-SI name also used for this unit (1 nt = 1 cd/m). The term "nit" is believed to come from the Latin word "nitere", to shine. As a measure of light emitted per unit area, this unit is frequently used to specify the brightness of a display device. The sRGB spec for monitors targets 80 cd/m. Typically,
Content (measure theory) by This is an outer measure, in other words it has the following properties: The function μ above is an outer measure on the family of all subsets. Therefore it becomes a measure when restricted to the measurable subsets for the outer measure, which are the subsets "E" such that μ("X") = μ("X"∩"E") + μ("X"\"E") for all subsets "X". If the space is locally compact then every open set is measurable for this measure. The measure μ does not necessarily coincide with the content λ on compact sets, However it does if λ is regular in the sense that for
