摘要:
The present invention provides an optical recording medium including a recording layer and a light-transmitting layer successively formed on one side of a substrate, so that a light is applied from the side of this light-transmitting layer for performing an information recording and/or reproduction. On the opposite side of the substrate not having the light-transmitting layer, a water-proof film consisting of at least one layer is formed. This suppresses the skew, enabling to improve the information recording and/or reproduction characteristics for a higher recording density. Furthermore, if the light-transmitting layer has a thickness t=3 to 177 micrometers in an information signal section of the recording medium, and a thickness fluctuation &Dgr;t ≦±5.26 (&lgr;/NA4) micrometers (wherein NA is a numerical aperture and &lgr; is a wavelength of the recording/reproduction optical system), it is possible to realize a high NA and a high capacity.

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.

[Object] To enable stable void recording to be performed with lower power than in a case where a conventional void recording method that records hole marks (voids) in a bulk layer is adopted.[Solving Means] First laser light is irradiated onto an optical recording medium in which a plurality of resin layers are formed while the first laser light is focused on a boundary surface of the resin layers, to thus record hole marks onto the boundary surface. Since a recording sensitivity of the hole marks is enhanced at the boundary surface of the resin layers, by recording hole marks onto the boundary surface as described above, laser power requisite for recording can be suppressed as compared to the conventional art. As a result, it becomes unnecessary to use a special laser such as a short-pulse laser, and even if a CW laser (CW: Continuous Wave) is used, a recording speed does not need to be sacrificed. By compensating weak points of the conventional void recording method, realizability of a large-capacity recording medium as a bulk-type recording medium can be additionally enhanced.

Auxiliary digital data is sold and bought. A process for selling auxiliary digital data is performed with respect to a process for cancelling a limitation of use of the digital data. A process for buying the auxiliary digital data is performed. A process for receiving a selling request and a buying request is performed, and selling and buying transactions are concluded. The process of selling, the process of buying, and the process of selling and buying are each performed by transmitting and receiving data through a communication network.
摘要:
At the stage where disc substrates are to be manufactured in mass production by using a stamper, a section where pits/lands are not formed is formed in advance as an additional information recording section among recording tracks formed by a recording data sequence of pits/lands. A metal alloy reflection film is coated on the information recording surface including such an additional information recording section 10. Then, thereafter, additional information is recorded in the additional information recording section 10 by forming hole marks 6 by erasing or decreasing a partial area of the metal alloy reflection film. The additional information is recorded in a partial area of recording tracks in the information recording area (the area where information is recorded by a recording data sequence of pits/lands, the area including a content area and a management area such as a lead-in). The hole marks 6 are formed as marks from which logic values that are the same as those of pits are obtained at the time of reproduction.

An optical information recording medium includes a read-only information recording portion, and a BCA (Burst Cutting Area) portion formed by laser marking. A reflective film on an information recording surface of the read-only information recording portion and a reflective film on the BCA portion are formed of the same material. The reflective film includes Ag as a main component, and at least one of Nd and Gd, and at least one of Sn and In as components; the reflective film including at least one of Nd and Gd of 0.1 atom % or more and 3.0 atom % or less in total and at least one of Sn and In of 3 atom % or more and 12 atom % or less in total. Recorded information is reproduced from the information recording surface of the read-only information recording portion and a BCA signal is reproduced from the BCA portion, using blue-violet laser reproducing light.
