RETROREFLECTIVE SHEETING WITH AIR-BACKED MICROSTRUCTURES

摘要

Optical structures and methods for manufacturing the same includes, in one embodiment, a substrate and a plurality of two-sided optical components disposed along the substrate. Each component includes optical microstructures on each side. At least a portion of one side of at least some of the components is air-backed and the other side of the at least some of the components is substantially wetted-out by a material. Retroreflective optical structures, threads or fibers and manufacturing methods for forming same are also provided.
