Meaning
Luminous flux lm (lumen)
The amount of emitted light that is measured based upon CIE standard luminous efficacy and the maximum luminous
efficacy
Luminous intensity cd (candela) = lm/sr A value that a speed of light, directed in any directions from the light source, is divided by a solid
angle.
Illuminance lx (lux) = lm/㎡ The amount of light entering per unit area (Light receiving part)

• PJTR brightness standard unit establishing by ANSI(American National Standards Institute)
• A standard which entire luminous flux of projected light can be measured regardless of a level of uniformity
in order to correct the measurements caused by different measurement locations.
→ Calculated luminous flux (unit lm) based upon the standard is called ANSI lm.
• Measurement procedure :
① Divide the projected screen into a nine equal size (Below figure)
② Measure a center illuminance at the 9 points and calculate the average (lx = lm / ㎡)
Calculate the projected screen size
④ the calculated average from ② (lx = lm / ㎡) x projected screen size (㎡) = ANSI lm (lm)
* Projected screen size is not specified, but 40 inch projection is general.
Example) 40 inch (SIZE = 0.495 ㎡) when projecting, an average
lluminance 2,500 lx, .
▶ 2,500 ( lx ) x 0.495 (㎡) = 1,237.5 (lm) *
