Luminous intensity refers to the overall brightness, from a lamp LED, for example, without regard to the area of the light source. Luminance indicates the degree of brightness over an area, such as from a display device. The greater the source area the higher the luminance. The luminance is normally obtained by dividing the luminous intensity by the light source area.
