20080231954 | REFLEX REFLECTOR - A reflex reflector can include: a first indicator member composed of a light transmissive resin and including at least one substantially plate-like first reflector with a reflex reflective surface formed thereon and at least one first link plate, in which the first reflector and the first link plate are linked and arranged at a certain angle; and a second indicator member composed of a light transmissive resin and including at least one substantially plate-like second reflector with a reflex reflective surface formed thereon and at least one second link plate having an opening in which the first reflector and the first link plate are linked and arranged at the certain angle. The first reflector on the first indicator member fits in the opening through the second indicator member, and the at least one first reflector on the second indicator member superimposes on the first link plate of the first indicator member, such that the first indicator member and the second indicator member can be configured as a single piece. | 09-25-2008 |
20090303593 | RETROREFLECTIVE MATERIALS - A series of retroreflective materials of graduated reflectivity each comprising a plurality of transparent elements wherein each of the retroreflective materials has a different proportion of the plurality of transparent elements which are covered with a reflective coating. The materials can be used to dress a set design suitable for filming using chromakeying techniques. A plurality of different objects on the set are covered in different ones of the series of retroreflective materials according, for example, to the position and orientation of the object on the set. | 12-10-2009 |
20110141563 | REFLECTIVE STRUCTURE - An improved reflective structure utilizing a water transfer printing means for adhesion onto an object in a detachable/non-detachable manner includes a substrate, an isolation layer, an ink layer and a cover layer. The substrate is used for adhesion onto an object, and the isolation layer (an essential oil) is disposed over the substrate and dissolvable in water such that the thickness of the entire structure is reduced. The ink layer has a high polymer content and is printed onto the surface of the isolation layer to provide different patterns. The glass bead layer is capable of reflecting light and is disposed onto the ink layer surface. The cover layer is disposed over the surface of the glass bead layer. Alternatively, the glass bead layer is disposed over the cover layer, and the cover layer is disposed on the ink layer, so that the reflective structure is flexible for complicated, curved shapes. | 06-16-2011 |
20120081788 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device is capable of freely setting a viewing location for a real image formed by an imaging optical system of real specular image. The display device includes: an object of view; the imaging optical system having a semitransparent substrate with a plane of symmetry to define an object side space in which the object exists and a viewer side space in which a viewer exists, where the imaging optical system forms a real image of the object of view in the viewer side space with light passing through the substrate; and at least one reflective mirror arranged in the object side space so as to reflect light beams from the object of view to guide the reflected light beams to the imaging optical system of real specular image. | 04-05-2012 |
20120092766 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device is capable of freely setting a viewing location for a real image formed by an imaging optical system of real specular image. The display device includes: an object of view; the imaging optical system having a semitransparent substrate with a plane of symmetry to define an object side space in which the object exists and a viewer side space in which a viewer exists, where the imaging optical system forms a real image of the object of view in the viewer side space with light passing through the substrate; and a reflective mirror arranged in the viewer side space so as to reflect light beams supplied from the imaging optical system to guide the reflected light beams toward the viewer. | 04-19-2012 |
20120140325 | DISPLAY DEVICE USING A DIHEDRAL CORNER REFLECTOR ARRAY OPTICAL ELEMENT - A display device includes a dihedral corner reflector array optical element composed of a substrate and a plurality of dihedral corner reflectors arranged regularly on one main surface of the substrate, the dihedral corner reflectors including orthogonal mirror planes perpendicular to each other and being perpendicular to the main surface of the substrate; and an object existing by the one surface of the substrate, the optical element forming a real image of the object by the other main surface of the substrate. The optical element includes a plurality of protrudent bodies integrally formed of a transparent material of the substrate, each of the protrudent bodies including two sides of orthogonal mirror planes perpendicular to each other as the dihedral corner reflector perpendicular to the main surface of the substrate. The optical element is disposed so that the protrudent bodies face toward a space in which the object exists. | 06-07-2012 |
20130250419 | REFLECTIVE SECURITY ELEMENT FOR SECURITY PAPERS, VALUE DOCUMENTS OR THE LIKE - A security element for manufacturing value documents, such as bank notes, checks or the like, has an upper side on which there is formed a microcavity structure that has a multiplicity of adjacent microcavities configured as retroreflectors, wherein on the microcavities there is formed a structure causing a color effect. The microcavities are respectively configured such that they have a first region in which radiation incident on the upper side is singly reflected, and a second region in which radiation incident on the upper side is multiply reflected. The structure causing the color effect has a dispersion dependent on the angle of incidence, so that radiation singly reflected at the first region shows a different color effect, when viewed from the upper side, than radiation multiply reflected at the second region. | 09-26-2013 |
20140268338 | REFLECTOR ARRAY OPTICAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A reflector array optical device has a plurality of dihedral corner reflector array optical elements which are disposed side by side on the same plane. Each of the dihedral corner reflector array optical elements has a substrate and a plurality of dihedral corner reflectors which each have at least two orthogonal side faces perpendicular to the principal surface of the substrate and orthogonal to each other, and which are formed on the substrate so that the orientations of the interior angles of the orthogonal side faces are aligned with each other. | 09-18-2014 |

20120092767 | WEAR AND IMPACT RESISTANT REFLECTIVE ROAD LANE MARKERS - A laminate article preferably including two or more layers adapted to be applied to a surface of a roadway that can function as a reflective marker, such as a lane marker or road feature marker. The article includes one or more reflective compounds, preferably particles, aggregates, or clusters that are partially embedded in an exposed outer surface layer of the article. In order to increase the durability of the material, protective media compounds are also present in the outer layer and extend outward therefrom with the protective material protruding a greater distance than the reflective compounds. The articles of the present invention are weather resistant, durable and resistant to damage by vehicles and snowplows. | 04-19-2012 |
