Abstract
The invention relates to an optical component comprising a first transparent layer (11) comprising retroreflective micro-recesses (13) in the form of a truncated pyramid; and a second transparent layer (20) extending on and in contact with the first layer (11) and the micro-recesses (13). The micro-recesses (13) are arranged in separate retroreflective strips parallel to one another, the retroreflective strips being separated two by two by a transparent longitudinal portion not comprising micro-recesses; the micro-recesses (13) of one and the same retroreflective strip being up against one another and oriented along a transverse axis of the retroreflective strip.
Claims15
An optical component, extending in a main plane, and having an entry face and an exit face opposite, planar and parallel to the main plane, comprising:
- a first transparent layer, having the entry face, and a second face opposite, planar and parallel to the main plane, and comprising retroreflective micro-recesses, in the form of a truncated pyramid, extending from the second face;
- a second transparent layer, having the exit face, and extending on and in contact with the second face of the first layer and the micro-recesses;
- wherein:
- the micro-recesses are arranged as separate retroreflective strips parallel to one another, such that the retroreflective strips are separated two by two by a transparent longitudinal portion not comprising micro-recesses,
- and such that the micro-recesses of one and the same retroreflective strip are up against each other and oriented along a transverse axis of the retroreflective strip.
