Abstract: In a retroreflective sheeting, and methods of formation thereof, the sheeting comprises a body of material, the body having a first surface and a second surface. A plurality of first full-square-sided corner-cube structures are on the first surface of the body, the first full-square-sided corner-cube structures each having three facets that lie along planes that are orthogonal to each other. A plurality of second full-square-sided corner-cube structures are on the second surface of the body, the second full-square-sided corner-cube structures each having three facets that lie along planes that are orthogonal to each other.

Abstract: Retroreflective structures, which can include chips, flakes, threads, fibers, sheeting, octahedron retroreflectors, etc., are provided in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. The structures can utilize full or truncated open-faced surfaces and/or solid cube-corner prisms. A coating can be provided on the surfaces that is configured to reflect a first predetermined wavelength or range of wavelengths of light while allowing a second predetermined wavelength or range of wavelengths to pass therethrough. In other embodiments, a specular or reflective coating can be provided on the open-faced surfaces or facets of the cube-corner prisms.
