There are provided an optical disk and a manufacturing method thereof which can increase its recording capacity, e.g. to 15 GB or higher. This optical disk may comprises an optical disk substrate 3 in which successive pits corresponding to a recording signal are formed, a reflection film 4 formed in this optical disk substrate 3 on its surface that successive pits 2 are formed and a light transmissive layer 5 formed on this reflection film 4. When a recorded signal is read out, i.e. reproduced from the optical disk, a signal recorded as successive pits is read out by irradiating of short-wavelength laser light having a wavelength of 350 nm to 420 nm from the side of the light transmissive layer 5 formed on the surface of the optical disk. Moreover, in this optical disk, when the successive pits are observed from the side of the light transmissive layer irradiated by reproducing laser light, the successive pits contain pits having length and width ranging from 80 nm to 250 nm, and the reflection film has the film thickness selected to be 20 nm or less, e.g. greater than 8 nm.

To provide a PDP display device and a drive method which use a set-up pulse having a portion that drops in voltage at a rate of 2V/&mgr;sec or more, whereby the occurrence of discharge errors in a sustain period can be suppressed even when wall charges are not sufficiently erased in an erase period and excess wall charges remain on some or all electrodes in a set-up period. To this end, the drop portion of the set-up pulse applied to a scan electrode group is set after a pulse applied to a sustain electrode reaches a voltage which does not cause a discharge between the sustain and scan electrodes. As a result, the occurrence of discharge errors in the sustain period is suppressed, without prolonging the set-up period.

An optical disk having a recording capacity of about at least 15 GB and methods of making the same. The optical disk may include an optical disk substrate having successive pits formed into a first surface. The successive pits may correspond to a recording signal. The optical disk may further have a reflection film formed on the first surface of the optical disk substrate and in the successive pits and have a light transmissive layer formed on the reflection film. If a length of an effective pit length B of each pit of the plurality of successive pits is restricted to be not less than 80 nm and not greater than 250 nm, then a thickness T of the reflection film is restricted to be not greater than 20 nm and not less than 8 nm, and the thickness of the light transmissive layer is restricted to be not greater than 177 &mgr;m and not less than 10 &mgr;m.

An improved delta sigma digital-to-analog converter in which the thermometer code, which is output from a thermometer code converter, is divided into P blocks for every Q bits. An arrangement of the blocks is shifted in rotation by a barrel shifter at a frequency fs. Along with this, an arrangement of bits within each block is shifted in rotation by a shift register at a frequency of Q times fs. The bits within the code thus obtained are provided to local DACs, each specified to correspond to each of the given bits. In this manner, it is possible to maintain a lower operating frequency while at the same time to reducing the distortion in the output caused by a change in shifting the data in rotation in the local DACs, which change occurs depending on bit levels of the data in a form of the thermometer code.

A photoresist is applied onto a substrate, the photoresist-coated substrate is exposed to a laser beam of 300 nm or less in wavelength to form a latent image indicative of an information signal, and the photoresist on the substrate is developed to form a pit/groove pattern indicating the information signal. The photoresist has a mean value of 0.1 or less between extinction coefficients before and after the exposure to the laser beam.

In the method of manufacturing an optical recording medium according to the present invention, when an optical recording medium having at least first and second minute concave and convex surfaces formed thereon is manufactured, the first and second minute concave and convex surfaces are simultaneously molded on both surfaces of a substrate of the optical recording medium. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a multilayer optical recording medium having an excellent symmetrical structure with respect to a vertical cross section direction of the substrate, i.e., in the thickness direction of the optical recording medium. Moreover, it is possible to effectively suppress the deformation thereof resulting from curing or shrinkage of an light curing resin or the like, absorption or removal of vapor in the air into or from a substrate, a transparent intermediate film or the like, and so on.

The present invention allows a plasma display panel to have gradation levels being sufficient in number and to have stable address discharge. In the plasma display apparatus having a panel and a driver circuit, the driver circuit drives the panel on the subfield structure that satisfies the following. One field has a first subfield group and a second subfield group temporally successive to the first subfield group. Each of the subfield groups is formed of a plurality of temporally successive subfields. The luminance weight increases in the order of occurrence of the subfields within each subfield group. The first subfield of the second subfield group has a luminance weight smaller than that of the last subfield of the first subfield group. When a gradation having a level greater than a gradation threshold is displayed, the first subfield of the second subfield group has no light emission.

In a driving method of a panel, one field period is formed by arranging a plurality of subfields that have an address period for selectively causing address discharge in a discharge cell, and a sustain period for causing as many sustain discharges as the number corresponding to luminance weight in the discharge cell. One field period is formed by arranging a plurality of subfield groups having a plurality of subfields whose luminance weights monotonically increase. In the discharge cell for causing address discharge in a certain subfield other than the head subfield in each subfield group, address discharge is caused even in the head subfield.
