Abstract:
This disclosure generally relates to retroreflective articles and methods of making such articles.

Claim (Index 1):
A retroreflective article, comprising:\n a retroreflective layer including multiple cube corner elements that collectively form a structured surface that is opposite a major surface; and a sealing layer having a first region and a second region, wherein the second region is in contact with the structured surface and wherein the second region surrounds the first region to form at least one cell with a cell size that is less than 1000 microns; and wherein cell size is defined as the cell area by the perimeter length, wherein the sealing layer comprises a thermoplastic polymer, wherein the sealing layer further includes a barrier layer disposed within the first region between the sealing layer and the retroreflective layer separating a low refractive index layer from the sealing layer; wherein the retroreflective article exhibits a coefficient of retroreflection R A  that is not less than 80 cd/(lux\u00b7m 2 ) for an observation angle of 0.2 degrees and an entrance angle of \u22124 degrees.
