nit
Definition: The nit (symbol: nt) is a non-SI name for candela per square meter (1 nt = 1 cd/m²). Measures display brightness and surface luminance.
History: Derived from Latin 'nitere' (to shine). Used informally in display technology before being standardized.
Current use: Common in consumer electronics (TV specs: 500-1000 nits for HDR), though cd/m² remains the official SI unit.
cd/m²
Definition: The candela per square meter (symbol: cd/m²) is the SI unit of luminance, measuring luminous intensity per unit area in a given direction.
History: Adopted as part of the SI system in 1948. Based on the candela (luminous intensity) and meter (distance) definitions.
Current use: Standard unit for display brightness (100-300 cd/m² for monitors), signage, and lighting design calculations.
