摘要:
A recording layer close to a disc surface is divided into at least two recording areas, a main information recording area D1A and an auxiliary information area (BCA) D1C. Grooves are formed in the main information recording area D1A. Marks M are formed in barcode form representing identifying information in the auxiliary information recording area (BCA) D1C. Track grooves G1 or prepits are formed in the recording layer of the auxiliary information recording area (BCA) D1C and have a depth smaller than that of the groove formed in the main information recording area D1A.

An information recording medium (100) includes a recordable area (1) where data information is recordable, an advertisement area (2) where at least either of advertisement information and identification information for identifying the advertisement information, and control area (3) where control information necessary to record the data information in the recordable area or necessary to record the data information at a rate higher than a predetermined recording rate is recorded readably on condition that the advertisement information is reproduced. With this, information recording media such as DVDs where, for example, data information is recordable can be widely used by enhancing the motivation of the users to reproduce advertisement information.

When there is a circuit that has to wait for one frame cycle to switch LCD resolution, a user feels uncomfortable because the resolution is switched while the screen is temporarily turned off and blackened or while the screen does keep display but causes flickers. When the user switches to an application that will display in QVGA mode on the LCD while the LCD is displaying in VGA mode, a synchronization signal, etc. are stopped from being output from an LCD controller within a vertical blank period (step S2). Then, a pseudo vertical synchronization signal whose cycle falls within the vertical blank period is generated by the LCD controller to trigger a circuit in a par/ser converting circuit triggered by a vertical synchronization signal (steps S3 to S5), and to realize resolution switching (steps S6 to S8). This prevents blackening/flickering of the screen when the resolution is switched.

An information recording apparatus (300) is provided with: a recording device (352) for recording record information into a first or second recording layer by irradiating thereon laser light; a first controlling device (354) for controlling the recording device to record the record information into a first object area of the second recording layer which faces a recorded area of the first recording layer; and a second controlling device (354) for controlling the recording device to record the record information into a second object area of the second recording layer which faces an unrecorded area of the first recording layer smaller than a predetermined width, out of an unrecorded area whose both ends are adjacent to the recorded area.

An information recording medium (100) is provided with (i) a first information recording area wherein a first track for reproducing first information based on a first track pitch is formed by a laser beam, and (ii) a second information recording area wherein a second track for reproducing second information based on a second track pitch different from the first track pitch is formed by a laser beam. In the second track, a recording mark is previously recorded.

An optical disk includes a substrate covered with an information recording layer. The information recording layer includes a recording material and an exothermic material dispersed in the recording material. The exothermic material absorbs recording light for recording information, and then generates heat. An external dimension of the exothermic material is smaller than the diffraction limit of reading light for reading information. The recording material has absorptance of a wavelength of the recording light lower than that of the exothermic material. Information is recorded on the recording material as the light refraction index of the recording material changes due to heating.
摘要:
An information recording medium has a plurality of recording layers, one (L0 layer) of which has an identifier recording area (NBCA) containing an identifier for identifying the information recording medium. In the identification information recording area, a groove track (GT) is divided in the direction along the groove track by a spatial frequency not lower than a specified spatial frequency (2NA/?) at which reproduction becomes impossible according to the optical transmission characteristics (MTF) of a reproduction optical system.
摘要:
An information recording apparatus (300) transmits identification information (Media ID) of an information recording medium (100) to an information distributing apparatus (200). The information distributing apparatus obtains an encryption key (disk key) from the identification information which is sent from the information recording apparatus, and encrypts record information (content). The information distribution apparatus distributes the encrypted record information (encrypted content). The information recording apparatus records the distributed encrypted record information into the information recording medium.
摘要:
An optical disc capable of repeated recording, such as a DVD−RW, is applicable. An information recording and reproducing apparatus starts recording by making a sync pattern of recording data correspond to a recording reference position determined by an LPP formed on the disc at the time of recording new data on the disc. Afterward, the apparatus continues the recording by gradually shifting a position of the sync pattern of the recording data with respect to the recording reference position, and performs the recording with a shift quantity fixed to the predetermined shift quantity when the shift quantity thereof reaches a quantity equal to or larger than a predetermined quantity. Thereby, at a rewriting portion on the optical disc, the shift between recorded data and a recording start position of recording data for rewriting can be small, and establishing synchronization at the time of reproducing or rewriting can be stably performed.
摘要:
At the least, a first recording layer 2 and a translucent film layer 3 are laminated in order on a transparent substrate 1 to form a first information recording/reproduction unit; and at the least, a reflective film layer 6 and a second recording layer 5 are laminated in order on a transparent substrate 7 to form a second information recording/reproduction unit. Then, the first and the second information recording/reproduction units are glued together by a transparent bonding layer 4, with the translucent film layer 3 facing the second recording layer 5, so that a two-layer information recording medium is obtained. Further, grooves G and lands L are formed for the first and the second recording layers 2 and 5. The depths of the grooves are substantially equal for the first and the second recording layers 2 and 5, the heights of the lands L are substantially equal for the first and the second recording layers 2 and 5, and the depth of the grooves G are greater than the height of the lands L.
