  • Patent number: 11280941
    Abstract: A retroreflective sheet includes: a retroreflective layer (20) including a plurality of retroreflective elements (24) on one surface; a back face layer (40) provided to face the surface of the retroreflective layer (20) on the side of the retroreflective elements (24) and including a bonding portion (42) bonded to the retroreflective elements (24); and a plurality of particles (30) disposed between the retroreflective elements (24) and the back face layer (40). The bonding portion (42) is continuously formed to surround a plurality of capsule portions (46) in plan view. Voids (32) are formed between the retroreflective elements (24) and the back face layer (40) in the plurality of capsule portions (46).

  • Publication number: 20210191010
    Abstract: A retro-reflective sheet includes: a retro-reflective layer (20) including a plurality of retro-reflective elements (24) on one surface; and a back face layer (30) provided to face the surface of the retro-reflective layer on the retro-reflective elements side. A part of the retro-reflective layer and a part of the back face layer are bonded to each other via a coupling portion (34) colored in a color other than white. Voids (36) are formed between another part of the retro-reflective layer and another part of the back face layer. The color of the coupling portion is different from colors of layers provided on a side opposite to the back face layer side from the voids.
