A battery powered deposition system and process for applying aluminum, silver, and SiO films (and their derivatives such as aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride and silicon dioxide) especially for making broadband reflective coatings for mirrors. One or more filaments are wetted with a filament wetting material such as aluminum or a silver alloy. In a preferred embodiment filaments are heated quickly to a high temperature with an array of batteries and the filament wetting material is deposited as a reflective coating on the mirror.

Disclosed are a reflective light-emitting film, preparation method and use thereof. The reflective light-emitting film has a layered structure comprising the following sequentially disposed layers: a reflective layer (2) formed by adhering, via an adhesive, a plurality of optical elements (1) therein; an attached layer (3) attached to a surface of a substrate; and a light-emitting color layer (4). The light-emitting element can be electroplated to reflect multi-color light. The attached layer (3) has a luminescent powder and a color or a first pattern applied or printed thereon to form the light-emitting color layer (4), or a surface of the reflective layer (2) has the luminescent powder and the color or the first pattern applied or printed thereon to form the light-emitting color layer (4). The reflective light-emitting film can reflect light and absorb light when illuminated. As the reflective light-emitting film can emit light after absorbing light, the reflective light-emitting film can emit light with or without being illuminated. Moreover, the reflective light-emitting film can reflect multi-color light when illuminated and produce an image-changing effect corresponding to a variation in an illumination distance, brightness and an observation angle, thereby providing a satisfactory light-reflecting effect and light-emitting effect, improving a warning effect and security, and enhancing an anti-counterfeit effect and aesthetic appeal.

The present application relates generally to retroreflective sheeting and the tools and methods used to make retroreflective sheeting. Microreplication tools and sheeting include controlled surface structure or haze. The surface structure or haze can be introduced, for example, by chemical etching of the tool surface and/or electroplating.
