Abstract
According to examples, an article may include a base layer that extends along a first dimension and a second dimension, in which the second dimension is orthogonal to the first dimension. The article may also include reflective ribbons provided on an upper surface of the base layer, in which the reflective ribbons positioned along a common plane extending in the second dimension have dihedral angles that change as a function of distance across the common plane.
Claims16
A method of making an article, comprising:
- coating a substrate with a layer of magnetically-orientable flakes;
- passing the coated substrate through a magnetic field to orient the magnetically-orientable flakes;
- and
- selectively curing a first portion of the oriented magnetically-orientable flakes to have a first dihedral angles relative to a plane of the substrate.
