Brightness refers to Illuminant The ratio of light intensity to light source area is defined as the brightness of the light source unit, that is, unit Projected area On Luminous intensity (Brightness=light intensity ÷ area). The unit of brightness is Candela /Square meter (cd/m two )。 And Illuminance Different, the objective corresponding quantity defined by physics is light intensity These two quantities are often confused in general everyday language. Brightness is also called brightness Lightness , indicating the brightness of the color. The brightness felt by the human eye is determined by the brightness reflected or transmitted by the color.

Brightness Luminance A numerical value indicating the brightness of the surface of the light source or the object receiving light. A unit equal to leaving, reaching, or passing through a surface Solid angle , on unit projected area Luminous flux [2]

Luminance is a property of color, or is related to how bright the color is Color space A dimension of. stay Lab In color space, brightness is defined to reflect human's subjective sense of brightness.
Brightness refers to the brightness of the picture, in candela per square meter (cd/m two )Or nits, which is candlelight per square meter. At present, there are two ways to improve the brightness of the display screen. One is to improve the brightness of the display screen LCD Light of panel Passing rate The other is to increase the brightness of the background light.
It should be noted that brighter products are not necessarily better products, and too bright display images often make people feel uncomfortable, which is easy to cause Visual fatigue At the same time, it also reduces the contrast between pure black and pure white Color scale and Gray scale Performance. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the brightness of the display contrast ratio Otherwise, the whole display screen will turn white. In addition to brightness Uniformity It is also very important, but in Liquid crystal display Product specification There is usually no marking in the instructions. Whether the brightness is uniform, and Backlight And reflector The quantity of is closely related to the configuration mode. The display with better quality has uniform brightness, soft and unobtrusive, and no obvious dark area.
Now in LCD Luminance technical study At present, it has reached 800 or higher, and is close to CRT display Leveling. in addition Liquid crystal display There are different nominal methods for the brightness of. For example, the typical brightness is 350, and the maximum brightness may be 400. The manufacturer generally does not specify the specific type. Therefore, in a certain range, it is not possible to distinguish between good and bad displays only by parameters. When purchasing LCD displays, you should also consider the contrast and other factors comprehensively, and it is best to actually watch the display effect.
The hottest LED backlight The introduction of technology has a huge impact on displays. LED The backlight display improves the brightness of the display by highlighting the LED. First tier domestic brands such as ASUS Samsung LG They have already started to use LED as the preferred backlight for some major products. Of course, these big brand displays Product quality Better, so the display will not "dazzle" because of the increase in brightness, which is not much related to LED backlight technology, so consumers need not be too superstitious that LED backlight can bring a qualitative improvement to the display effect of the display.
Brightness of stars
About 2000 years ago, Greece astronomer Hipparchus A new method for measuring star“ the magnitude ”Method. He divided the brightness of stars into six grades. The brightness of each star is two and a half times that of the next level, so the first class star is about 100 times brighter than the sixth class star.

According to human eye mechanism and human visual model Subjective brightness It is not exactly the same as the actual objective brightness, but there is a certain correspondence. What the human eye can feel Brightness range (called visual range) extremely wide, from a few tenths of a thousand nits to millions of nits. The reason why it is so wide is that it depends on the regulation of pupils and photosensitive cells. The pupil adjusts its size according to the intensity of external light, so that retina On Luminous flux Try to be moderate. Under strong light and weak light Cone cell The sensitivity of the latter is 10000 times that of the former. Under different luminance environments, the human eye produces Relative brightness It feels different. For example, for the same electric light, its relative brightness perception to the human eye is different during the day and night. In addition, when the human eye adapts to a certain ambient brightness, the sensing range will become smaller. For example, when the ambient brightness is 10000 t in the daytime, the brightness that the human eye can distinguish is about 200~20000 nits, and the brightness below 200 nits is black. When the nighttime environment is 30 nits, the distinguishable brightness range is 1~200 Nite At this time, the brightness of 100 nits causes a very bright feeling. Only the brightness below 1 nit can cause the black feeling.
The brightness perceived by the human eye and light intensity It is exponential, while the brightness defined by physics is proportional to the light intensity.

LED display light intensity Unit: cd/m two Or nit( Nite ,1nit=1cd/m two
The brightness of the display is defined as the brightness value in full white color. In fact, people do not need such high brightness in their daily use. High brightness will cause harm to the eyes instead. In most displays, the factory setting is basically 100% brightness, because higher brightness will make users feel better about the intuitive picture. However, excessive brightness for a long time will cause great visual damage.
The authoritative statement is that the brightness is between 120 cd/m two To 150cd/m two Between health and visual effects can get a compromise. Famous brands of major displays in the market, such as ASUS Samsung LG AOC Wait, the brightness of their mainstream 19 and 22 inch displays nominal Most of them are 300cd/m two , larger dimensions have higher brightness. For example, ASUS Liquid crystal display The display below 24 inches is basically 300 cd/m two The brightness of a 27 inch display such as ASUS MT276H reaches 400cd/m two Therefore, when paying attention to the brightness parameters of the display, consumers should also consider whether they will use such high brightness.

Luminous intensity

For a light source in a given direction Luminous intensity , unit: candela, namely Candela , referred to as Kan and CD for short. Some people still use candlelight to express luminous intensity, which is too old. It was adopted in 1940 (1948) New candlelight It's just a candle. Candlelight was abolished after 1968.

Luminous flux

Emitted by light source in unit time Amount of light be called light source Luminous flux of, unit Lumen ,lm

Illuminance

Luminous flux of 1lm (lumen) uniform distribution Produced on 1 ㎡ surface Illuminance , Unit Lux ,lx
The unit light source area is in the normal direction, and the unit solid angle Optical flow , in nits, nt
Generally, flashlights and LEDs are measured by luminous intensity, but early LEDs have low "brightness", so they are measured by millicds, that is mcd Later, thousands or tens of thousands of mcd came out, and the unit did not change, so 1000 mcd=1 cd.
