Abstract
An optically structured element (1) for minimizing or preventing bird collisions, includes a carrier element (2), a high-reflectivity region (3), and a low-reflectivity region (4); which is distinguished in that a double cone reflectance difference of a first double cone reflectance of the high-reflectivity region (3) and a second double cone reflectance of the low-reflectivity region (4) is greater than or equal to 5% and a VIS transmission ratio of the first VIS transmittance and the second VIS transmittance is greater than or equal to 70% and less than or equal to 200%.
Claims15
An optically structured element (1), for minimizing or preventing bird collisions, comprising:
- at least one carrier element (2);
- at least one high-reflectivity region (3);
- and
