摘要:
An optical alignment film and a liquid crystal thin film are adjacently formed. These films are irradiated with light. The optical alignment film is aligned, and the viscosity of the liquid crystal thin film is lowered because of the increase of the temperature due to light irradiation. The liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal thin film are aligned similarly to the alignment of the optical alignment film by use of the intermolecular force at the interface between the optical alignment film and the liquid crystal thin film. The alignment of the liquid crystal molecules allows the recorded information to be held. While using this optical alignment film, a sufficiently large amount of signals are realized, and the thermal stability and the stability against light irradiation are ensured.

An optical disk comprises a substrate, on one side of which a first recording layer and a second recording layer of different reflectivities are formed one on another, and a protective coating is provided on the first or second recording layer, which is farther from the substrate. For reproduction, a light beam is emitted from a single light source to the first or second recording layer through a single object lens. Based on whether the light beam is reflected from the first or second recording layer, the object lens is moved along its optical axis and focused on the recording layer to reproduce information.

A rewritable optical information recording medium including a recording layer composed of an organic dye film is provided, in which recording and erasing information can be performed reversibly by laser light irradiation. A rewritable optical information recording medium including at least one organic dye film which is substantially made of only at least one kind of organic dye compounds as a recording film is provided. The recording and erasure of information are performed by a reversible physical change of the organic dye film substance caused by laser light irradiation. Specifically, data recording is performed by a physical change locally caused by the irradiation of recording laser light, data reproduction is performed by detecting change in intensity of returned light of reproducing laser light having less power than the recording laser light, and data erasure is performed by applying at least once continuous light or pulse light having laser power more than the reproducing laser light and less than the recording laser light. The physical change is a change in shape.
摘要:
A multilayer optical recording medium which satisfies a reflectance required for reproducing record of digital data which conform to the standards of CD (Compact Disc) and DVD (Digital Versatile Disc). In the multilayer optical recording medium, a first transparent board (12), an HD layer (11), a second transparent board (22) and a CD layer (21) are successively laminated. The HD layer is provided with one or more layers of semi-transparent films (31), which have reflection characteristics to a wavelength of a first reproducing signal, transmission characteristics to a wavelength of a second reproducing signal and a higher refraction index than that of the first transparent board. The CD layer is provided with a metal film (23) having reflection characteristics to the wavelength of the second reproducing signal. The total thickness of the semitransparent films is defined as a×m×?×n, where, ? is the wavelength of the second reproducing signal, and n is the refraction index of the first transparent board. An inequality of 1.0=a=1.3 is satisfied and m is an integer number of 1 or more.
摘要:
A bioassay substrate (1) has a circular, planar major surface similar to that of an optical disc, e.g. a CD. The substrate (1) is rotary-driven about a central hole (2). The substrate (1) is provided, on the surface (1a) thereof, with a plurality of wells (8) where hybridization reaction takes place between a probe DNA (nucleotide chain for detection) and a sample DNA (target nucleotide chain). A transparent electrode layer (4) is formed beneath the well (8) in the substrate (1). At the time of hybridization, an external electrode (18) is brought closer from the upper surface (1a) side of the substrate (1) and an AC power is fed between the transparent electrode layer (4) and the external electrode (18), thus applying an AC field to the substrate (1) in the vertical direction.
摘要:
Twenty-bit audio data is separated into first data of high-order 16 bits and second data of low-order 4 bits. EFM-modulated data is created from the first data. A laser beam is turned on/off according to the logical level of channel data that is created by NRZI-modulating a serial data string. Consequently, the first data is recorded in the same way as in a compact disk. According to the second data, each pit is controlled to have displacement in a horizontal direction with respect to the track center, allowing a displaced pit to be formed. When data is thus recorded depending on the pit displacement, the high frequency component of a tracking error signal is changed during reproduction. Thus the second data can be extracted from the tracking error signal.
摘要:
A data recorded medium having a data recorded area where digital data including literary work data on literary works such as a music composition and an image is recorded, wherein identification information for identifying the recorded medium is recorded in an identification information recorded area and judging information representing presence/absence of identification information is recorded in a read-in area. The location of the digital data recorded on a recorded medium is managed by identification information for identifying the recorded medium and hence a wide variety of use such as copyings of literary work data is possible.
摘要:
An optical recording medium is capable of linear recording in a photon mode. An organic material changed in molecular orientation on light illumination to exhibit birefringence is used as a recording material. For example, a recording layer having, as a recording material, an organic material changed in molecular orientation caused by trans-cis rearrangement, is changed in birefringence with changes in the molecular orientation of the organic material. The recording system which utilizes the changes in the molecular orientation of the organic material has linear characteristics and gives outputs different depending on e.g., the degree or the angle of orientation, thus enabling multi-valued recording.
