    摘要: A reflective article has a multilayer film covering a patterned retroreflective layer. In one embodiment the patterned retroreflective layer includes a separate indicia layer covering a retroreflective substrate. The indicia are substantially hidden under normal viewing conditions but easily detectable under retroreflective lighting conditions. Various types of retroreflective layers are disclosed. The article can also include microstructured relief patterns which produce holographic images under ambient lighting but which disappear under retroreflective conditions. The multilayer film includes alternating layers of at least a first and second polymer, and has a relatively high reflectivity for normally incident light within a first spectral range which is approximately coextensive with the visible spectrum, and a relatively low reflectance for normally incident light within a second spectral range. The second spectral range can include a transmission window of 15% or less fractional bandwidth located at least partially in the visible spectrum. Film constructions are disclosed which achieve sharper spectral transitions than previously attainable. Film constructions are also disclosed which preserve such sharp transitions even at high entrance (tilt) angles.

    摘要: Various combinations of retroreflective sheeting and multilayer polymeric reflective films are disclosed. The reflective film includes alternating layers of at least a first and second polymer, the alternating layers being configured to exhibit a high reflectance for light within a first spectral range and a low reflectance for light within a second spectral range. At least two of the alternating layers can have out-of-plane indices of refraction which differ by no more than 50% of the maximum in-plane refractive index difference. The polymeric layers can define optical repeating units arranged in a sequence to have a specific thickness profile designed to give sharpened spectral transitions. The retroreflective layer preferably exhibits retroreflectance in all planes of incidence, but alternately it can be retroreflective in at least one plane of incidence but not in at least one other plane of incidence.
