Low-Frequency Distortion

An undesired change in a waveform or signals which occur at low frequencies. In television,

generally considered as any frequency below the 15.75-kHz line frequency.

Lowpass Filter
A filter that attenuates frequencies above a specified frequency and allows those below that
value to pass.

Lumen (LM)
A unit of measurement of the amount of brightness that comes from a light source. Lumens
define luminous flux, which is energy within the range of frequencies we perceive as
light.[6]

Lumen/FT2
A unit of incident light. It is the illumination on a surface one square foot in area on which a
flux of one lumen is uniformly distributed, or the illumination at a surface all points of which
are at a distance of one foot from a uniform source of one candela.

Luminance (Photometric Brightness)

Luminous intensity of any surface in a given direction per unit of projected area of the
surface viewed from that direction. The amount of brightness, measured in lumens that is
given off by a pixel or area on a screen.[6]

Luminance Signal (See also, Y Signal.)
