-
14. A light management film having two layers including an outer layer comprising a polyarylate co-polymer or polyestercarbonate having a refractive index from about 1.6 to about 1.7, and having plastic or glass beads or microstructures on an outward-facing facet suitable for creating substantial retroreflection or total internal reflection for incoming light rays, and an inner layer comprising a thermoplastic compound.
-
16. A light management film comprising an outer layer with refractive index from about 1.0 to about 1.5;
- a middle layer comprising polyarylate co-polymer or polyestercarbonate having a refractive index from about 1.6 to about 1.7, having plastic or glass beads or microstructures on the outward-facing facet suitable for retroreflection or total internal reflection; and
an inner layer comprising a thermoplastic compound.
- a middle layer comprising polyarylate co-polymer or polyestercarbonate having a refractive index from about 1.6 to about 1.7, having plastic or glass beads or microstructures on the outward-facing facet suitable for retroreflection or total internal reflection; and
- 17. The film of claim 22 having microstructures comprising one or more microprisms, encapsulated lens, corner cubes, discretely random structures, or continuously random structures.
-
18. A multi-layer light management film comprising a layer with a refractive index from about 1.0 to about 1.5;
- a second layer comprising a polyarylate co-polymer or polyestercarbonate having a refractive index from about 1.6 to about 1.7, having plastic or glass beads or microstructures on the outward-facing facet suitable for retroreflection or total internal reflection; and
a third layer comprising a thermoplastic compound.
- a second layer comprising a polyarylate co-polymer or polyestercarbonate having a refractive index from about 1.6 to about 1.7, having plastic or glass beads or microstructures on the outward-facing facet suitable for retroreflection or total internal reflection; and
-
19. The film of claim 27 comprising microstructures of one or more microprisms, encapsulated lens, corner cubes, discretely random structures, or continuously random structures.
