    Abstract: A reflective film includes interior layers arranged to selectively reflect light by constructive or destructive interference, the layers extending from a first zone to a second zone of the film. The film has a first thickness and the interior layers provide a first reflective characteristic in the first zone; the film has a second thickness and the interior layers provide a second reflective characteristic in the second zone. The difference between the first and second reflective characteristics is not substantially attributable to any difference between the first and second thicknesses, which difference may be zero. Rather, the difference in the reflective characteristics is substantially attributable to reduced birefringence of at least some of the interior layers in one zone relative to the other zone. The film may also incorporate absorbing agents to assist in the manufacture or processing of the film. Related methods and articles are also disclosed.

    Abstract translation: 反射膜包括布置成通过结构性或相消干涉选择性地反射光的内层,所述层从膜的第一区延伸到第二区。 该膜具有第一厚度,并且内部层在第一区域中提供第一反射特性; 该膜具有第二厚度,并且内部层在第二区域中提供第二反射特性。 第一和第二反射特性之间的差异基本上不能归因于第一和第二厚度之间的任何差异,该差值可以为零。 相反,反射特性的差异基本上归因于在一个区域中的至少一些内层相对于另一区域的双折射率的降低。 该薄膜还可以包含吸收剂以协助制造或加工薄膜。 还公开了相关的方法和文章。

    Abstract: Disclosed is an identification system to improve safety on roads and allow for the driver or for the vehicle itself, if it is autonomous or semi-autonomous, to have readable and useful information about road signs, roadways, and adjacent roadway information. The disclosed identification system comprises a marker with marker communication information that can be read by a vehicle information system to provide information to the vehicle. Information that the marker communication information may convey would allow the vehicle information system to detect or recognize, or both detect and recognize critical road sign, roadway information, and adjacent roadway information. Then, the vehicle information system could respond to the information received from the marker communication information.
