摘要: Systems, assemblies, and methods for detecting changes in polarization states are described. Example systems may include a light receiving unit including a sensor and a receiving polarizer. The sensor is configured to sense light from a polarized light source deflected through the receiving polarizer by a light directing article. The sensor is configured to generate a signal indicative a received polarization state of light deflected by the light directing articles. Such systems may be coupled to vehicles and may be useful for sensor-detectable signs, indicia, and markings to facilitate automated or assisted vehicular transport.

摘要: An optical construction includes a lens film having a plurality of optically transparent first beads at least partially embedded in a first layer. A light blocking second layer is disposed on the lens film and defines a plurality of through openings therein extending at least partially between opposite major top and bottom surfaces of the second layer. The through openings are aligned to the first beads in a one-to-one correspondence.

摘要: Wavelength-selective films are visibly apparent under the selective wavelength. Wavelength-selective films typically reflect off axis the selected wavelength and therefore can provide high-contrast against a background when applied in a pattern on a substrate. However, it is difficult to apply unique patterned embedded images from film. Disclosed is a cost-effective method and construction of a patterned wavelength-selective image to a substrate. In the disclosed wavelength-selective image, wavelength-selective film particles are applied to an adhesive pattern to create the wavelength-selective image.

摘要: The disclosed patterned wavelength-selective material and process for making the patterned wavelength-selective material uses patterned applied adhesive and a structurally weak wavelength-selective material that includes portions that contact the adhesive and break to remain in contact with the adhesive. In one embodiment, the wavelength-selective material comprises an array of sections with cuts at least partially through a wavelength-selective film at each section secured to the adhesive. In another embodiment, the wavelength-selective film comprises a transfer stack of layers.

摘要: A backlight includes an extended light source adapted to emit light. A reflective polarizer is disposed on the extended light source, such that for substantially normally incident light and for at least a first wavelength in a range from about 420 nanometer (nm) to about 650 nm, the reflective polarizer reflects at least 60% of the incident light having a first polarization state and transmits at least 60% of the incident light having an orthogonal second polarization state. A first prismatic film is disposed between the extended light source and the reflective polarizer. A retarder layer is disposed between the reflective polarizer and the first prismatic film, such that for substantially normally incident light at a wavelength of about 550 nm, the retarder layer has a retardance nW, where n is an integer ≥1 and W is a wavelength between about 160 nm and about 300 nm.

摘要: A recycling optical cavity is defined at least by first and second optical films and is configured to receive a test material therein. The test material is configured to emit at least a second light having a second wavelength when irradiated with a first light having a first wavelength. For at least one of s- and p-polarized incident lights incident in an incident plane, and at the first and second wavelengths: at a first incident angle, the first optical film has respective optical transmittances T11(θ1) and T12(θ1), and the second optical film has respective optical transmittances T21(θ1) and T22(θ1), wherein T11(θ1)>T12(θ1), T21(θ1), T22(θ1); and at a second incident angle, the first optical film has respective optical transmittances T11(θ2) and T12(θ2), and the second optical film has respective optical transmittances T21(θ2) and T22(θ2), wherein T21(θ2)>T11(θ2), T12(θ2), T22(θ2).

摘要: Adhesion on demand articles include a layer of adhesive and a backing layer in contact with the adhesive layer. The backing layer includes a plurality of cuts, where the plurality of cuts are gaps but the gaps are not visible to the naked eye when the adhesive article is in an unstressed state, but in a stressed state, at least some of the cuts become gaps that permit adhesion of the first major surface of the adhesive layer to a substrate surface.
