Abstract: A lens-type functional retroreflecting sheet having a retroreflecting region and a visual function exhibiting region, and comprising a substrate sheet which includes a supporter having a functional resin layer containing a phosphorescent or fluorescent functional pigment, a minute ball lens burying region where minute ball lenses are buried in the surface of the functional resin layer in such a way that the minute ball lenses are densely arranged and form a single layer, and a minute ball lens non-burying region where the minute ball lens is substantially not buried and the functional resin layer is exposed; a transparent protective film which is provided above the minute ball lens side surface of the substrate sheet; and a junction part where the substrate sheet and the transparent protective film are partially joined together. The lens-type functional retroreflecting sheet provides an excellent visual recognizability for a recognizer on the light source side such as a car driver and, further, provides the excellent visual recognizability for a recognizer on the side opposite to the light source side such as a pedestrian at night.

Abstract: A retroreflective applique (10) includes a supporting structure (12), a layer of optical lens elements (14), and a reflective material (16). The layer of optical lens elements (14) is partially embedded in the supporting structure (12), and the reflective material (16) is disposed on the embedded portion of the layer of optical lens elements (14). The supporting structure (12) may contain a binder layer (24) and a heat-activatable adhesive layer (26). The binder layer (24) includes a non-filamentary acrylic polymer layer. The use of such a supporting structure (12) eliminates the need for a release liner on the rear surface (20) of the heat-activatable adhesive layer (26), and it also enables a carrier web (28) to be separated from the polymeric supporting structure (12) before the applique (16) is permanently secured to a substrate. The separation step can be accomplished without causing substantial harm to the retroreflective performance of the applique (10).

Abstract: A retroreflective sheet manufacturing method having the steps of placing a light-permeable protective film on glass beads in a support sheet which consists of a binder layer and a reinforcing layer, and which is provided with retroreflective glass beads buried in the binder layer, and thermally deforming parts of the support sheet under heating and pressure so as to partially bond the binder layer of the support sheet to the protective film, characterized in that the reinforcing layer of the support sheet consists of a crosslinked resin having shearing stress S in the range of 6x10 -1.2x10 dyne/cm before the thermal deformation of the support sheet has been carried out. A retroreflective sheet manufactured by this method has a high uniformity of the joint portions of the support sheet and protective film. Even when this retroflective sheet is used outdoors for a long period of time, troubles including the separation of the protective film do not substantially occur. This retroreflective sheet can be utilized extensively as a road sign board, a license plate for a vehicle, a sign board for construction work and an advertisement board.
