Abstract:
An optical information recording medium of the present invention includes at least a recording layer (4) that allows information to be recorded thereon and/or reproduced therefrom by being irradiated with a laser beam, and a transmittance adjusting layer (7) in this order from an incident side of the laser beam (30). In the optical information recording medium of the present invention, the transmittance adjusting layer (7) contains Bi, Ti, and O and with a composition of Bi, Ti, and O contained in the transmittance adjusting layer (7) being denoted as BixTiyOz, in atomic number ratio, x, y, and z satisfy 0.07@x@0.35, 0.07@y@0.28, 0.56@z@0.70, and x+y+z=1. Or the transmittance adjusting layer (7) contains Bi2O3 and TiO2, and with a composition of Bi2O3 and TiO2 contained in the transmittance adjusting layer (7) being denoted as (Bi2O3)alpha(TiO2)beta, in molar ratio, alpha and beta satisfy 0.2@alpha@0.7, 0.3@beta@0.8, and alpha+beta=1.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical recording medium and a method of forming a printable layer on the optical recording medium, particularly an optical recording medium having a printable layer with high glossiness and a method of forming the printable layer.SOLUTION: The optical recording medium comprises a first blotting layer formed from a heat-curable blotting material on an outermost layer at an opposite side of a recording/reading surface; and a second blotting layer formed from a UV-curable blotting material on an inner side of the first blotting layer. The optical recording medium has a printable layer with high glossiness such that a surface of the first blotting layer is printed with cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks to have an average glossiness at an angle of 20 degrees greater than or equal to 30 (GU), an average glossiness at an angle of 60 degrees greater than or equal to 70 (GU), and an average glossiness at an angle of 85 degrees greater than or equal to 88 (GU).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oxide sputtering target capable of forming a flexible and difficult-to-crack film with high sustaining property as a protective film of an optical recording medium, and capable of performing DC sputtering with few particles generated during the sputtering.SOLUTION: An oxide sputtering target includes, with respect to the total amount of the metal component, 0.15 at% or more in total of one or more among Al, Ga, and In, 7 at% or more of Sn, 36 at% or less in total of Al, Ga, In, and Sn, and the balance comprising Zn and unavoidable impurities.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a spin coater including a rotation table that rotatably holds the disc substrate, a spin-cup that surrounds the outer circumference of a disc substrate held on the rotation table, a dripping unit configured to drip an ultraviolet-curable resin composition onto the surface of the disc substrate, a rotating unit configured to rotate the disc substrate via the rotation table to spread the ultraviolet-curable resin composition over the surface of the disc substrate, a heating unit configured to heat the ultraviolet-curable resin composition on the disc substrate, and a temperature controlling unit configured to control a reaching temperature of the spin cup which is increased by the heating unit each time the ultraviolet-curable resin composition is spread, so as to be constant over multiple spin coating processes.
