摘要:
An optical disc comprising a substrate and a recording layer and a light-transmitting layer, laid on a substrate one upon the other in the order mentioned. A light beam is applied to the recording layer through the light-transmitting layer, to record and/or reproduce data on the disc. The light-transmitting layer is composed of at least two material layers laid one on the other and having different refractive indices. The disc is designed to set the spherical aberration caused by an objective lens that focuses the light beam used to record and/or reproduce data, at a value close to a minimum.

An optical recording medium capable of improving uniformity of thickness of a protective film and suppressing warping. The medium is configured to include a substrate, an optical recording film formed on the substrate, and a light transmitting protective film formed above the optical recording layer, wherein the protective film includes a polymer sheet produced by melt casting and an adhesive layer for bonding the polymer sheet to the optical recording layer. As the polymer sheet, a polycarbonate sheet, a cyclic polyolefin sheet, etc. can be used. As the adhesive layer, an ultraviolet curing resin, a heat curing resin, an epoxy resin-based adhesive agent or a pressure-sensitive tackiness agent may be used alone or mixed or stacked.
摘要:
An optical disc and its manufacturing method in which humps may be prohibited from being formed on an outer rim area of the disc to assure optimum surface properties of a light transmitting layer of the disc to contribute to further increase in recording capacity. On a substrate 2 of an optical disc 1 are sequentially formed a recording portion 6 and a light transmitting layer 5. The light falls on the light transmitting layer 5 to record and/or reproduce information signals for a signal recording area 6a of the substrate 2. The radial distance D from the outermost rim of the substrate 2 to the signal recording area 6a is selected to be larger than the radial width L of a hump 5a formed on the outer rim of the light transmitting layer 5. The hump 5a has a height h from the surface of the light transmitting layer 5 not larger than 70 &mgr;m.

An optical disc molding device has a pair of molds for injection molding a disc substrate within cavities, and a stamper supported within at least one cavity, for molding a data recording surface in such a manner that the inside diameter side of the stamper supporting surface of the cavity protrudes inwardly in the disc thickness direction from the data recording surface. The flatness of a laminated reference plane has thus been deteriorated by burrs occurring on a disc substrate.

Digital information is recorded with high density. Positions of a leading edge and a trailing edge of an information pit are shifted from a reference position indicated by a leading edge of a reference clock in a step-wise fashion in respond to digital data to be recorded.
摘要:
An optical recording medium capable of suppressing warps arising during a long time use and a method of producing the same, which has the configuration of comprising a substrate 13, an optical recording layer 14 formed on the substrate 13 and a light transmitting protective film 17 formed on the optical recording layer 14, wherein the protective film 17 includes a polymer film 16 having a thermal shrinkage coefficient of 0.02% or less and an adhesive layer 15 for adhering the polymer film 16 to the optical recording layer 14. As the polymer film 16, those produced by a melt cast method, subjected to annealing processing in advance or having a residual solvent of 0.3% by weight or less in the film may be preferably used.

An optical disc includes a substrate, and a recording layer and transparent layer formed in this order on the substrate. A light is incident from the transparent layer to write and/or read an information signal. The substrate comprises a first resin layer forming a surface of the substrate on which the recording layer is formed, and a second resin layer having a higher flexural modulus is formed on the first resin layer.
摘要:
An optical disk has a groove formed in the direction of a recording track and a first information signal is recorded by forming a row of marks or dots on the groove or land. A second information signal can also be recorded on the groove or land without adversely affecting the playback characteristic of the first information signal. A groove is formed in the direction of the recording track and a row of marks or dots corresponding to the first information signal is formed on the groove or land, so that the first information signal can be recorded. Further, by forming a wave having a spatial frequency higher than a cut-off frequency of a playback optical system corresponding to a second information signal on a part or all of the groove, the second information signal is recorded. The second information signal can represent visible information.

An optical recording medium is provided which achieves a higher recording capacity. This optical recording medium includes a base formed of thermoplastic resin which has a thickness ranging from between approximately 0.3 to 1.2 mm, a guide groove formed on the base, an information recording layer formed at least of a reflective film and an organic dye recording layer provided on the guide groove, and a light transmissive layer having a thickness ranging from between approximately 3 to 177 &mgr;m. In this optical recording medium, the unevenness &Dgr;t of the thickness of the light transmissive layer is set within the range of: &Dgr;t≦±5.26(&lgr;/N.A.4)(&mgr;m) wherein N.A. represents a numerical aperture of an optical head device of the optical disk recording and/or reproducing apparatus and &lgr; represents the wavelength of laser light utilized by the optical disk recording and/or reproducing apparatus.
摘要:
An optical recording medium having plural signal recording layers, in which a sufficient signal volume is secured even from the signal recording layer irradiated with the reproducing light beam from the opposite side of a transparent substrate with respect to its signal recording surface. If the recording medium has plural signal recording layers in which a reflective film is formed on a signal recording surface of the transparent substrate carrying crests and valleys, the crests and valleys are formed on each transparent substrates so that the value of asymmetry A1 of reproduced signals in the signal recording layer irradiated with the reproducing light beam from the side of the transparent substrate is substantially equal to the value of asymmetry A2 of reproduced signals in the signal recording layer irradiated with the reproducing light from the opposite side. The length and the width of the crests and valleys of the latter signal recording layer are preferably larger by a film thickness of the reflective film than the length and the width of the crests and valleys of the former signal recording layer.
