    摘要: A magneto-optical disk comprising a substrate whereon a recording medium is formed, and a depression is formed on the substrate on the inside of the recording medium of the substrate. A center hub is installed on the depression such that the center hub is substantially level with a protective resin layer covering the recording medium. On the center hub, a flying head performs CSS (Contact Start and Stop). This configuration of the disk eliminates the occurrence of dust due to the abrasion and head crash, and achieves stable CSS. A method of manufacturing the magneto-optical disk, wherein the protective resin layer is formed after installing the center hub on the depression. In this method, since a space is not produced between the center hub and the protective resin layer, the stable flying characteristics is obtained. And a magneto-optical disk whereon small physical bumps and pits are formed on the substrate on the inside of the recording medium, which prevents the flying head from sticking to the disk. A method of manufacturing the magneto-optical disk by using a stamper, which permits the disk to be mass produced.

    摘要: An external magnetic field device for a magnetooptical information recording and reproducing apparatus in which an external magnetic field to be applied to a magnetooptical information recording medium is modulated by supplying to a magnetic head an alternate current the polarity of which is changed according to information to be recorded. The device comprises an offset circuit for producing an offset in the alternate current. The direction of the offset is selected so as to increase the current level of the polarity by which the initial magnetization of the information recording medium is reversed. The direction of the offset may be selected so as to cancel the leakage magnetic field.

    摘要: A magnetic disk device having a floating-type magnetic head, for use with a disk-shaped recording medium having a sliding area for the floating-type magnetic head formed outside a recording area. The length in the disk radial direction of a suspension supporting the floating-type magnetic head is varied depending on individual magnetic disk devices. In another arrangement, a control means is provided for setting two reference values so that a radial position of the floating-type magnetic head detected by a detection section is compared with these reference values, and for alternating one of the preset reference values to the other reference value upon receiving a rotation stop signal. In still another arrangement, control means is provided, whereby a radial position for sliding of the floating-type magnetic head is randomly varied within the sliding area. According to these arrangements, since the radial position for sliding of the floating-type magnetic head is varied within the sliding area without being located at the same position, abrasion within the sliding area can be dispersed. As a result, it becomes possible to extend the longevities of the floating-type magnetic head and the recording medium.

    摘要: A magneto-optical disk according to the present invention has a substrate (12), a recording layer (13) formed on the substrate and an outer layer (14) formed on the recording layer, above which a floating head is hovered. The outer layer is constituted of a protective layer, an antisticking layer for head, having a texture formed on its surface and other layers. The magneto-optical disk is designed such that, when rotated at a constant angular velocity, the thickness of the outer layer (14) is substantially inversely proportional to a radial position r on the magneto-optical disk raised to the 1/2nd power. In the formation of the outer layer, a screen whose meshes become gradually finer from the innermost portion toward the circumferential portion of the magneto-optical disk is employed based on the screen printing technique. Further, photo hardening resin is used as the outer layer, and simply by changing a wavelength or irradiation amount of light to be applied thereto, a texture is readily formed on the surface of the outer layer. By the use of the present invention, stable recording, erasing and re-writing operations are achieved, and it becomes possible to prevent the floating head from sticking to the magneto-optical disk and reduce the cost thereof.

    摘要: An optical recording element according to the present invention comprising: (i) a transparent substrate through which light passes; (ii) a transparent low-resistance layer having a specific resistance so as to prevent the adhesion of dust to the surface of the element caused by a static charge, the layer being formed on the surface, on which a light beam is incident, of the transparent substrate; and (iii) an optical thin film composed of at least one layer, formed on the other surface of the transparent substrate so as to transmit light beams used for recording, erasing and playback, and reflect lights which have wavelengths different from the wavelength of the above light beams and are within a specified visible region of the spectrum. With this arrangement, lights within a specified visible region of the spectrum are reflected so that the element appears to be colored according to the wavelengths of the reflected lights. Also, a problem often found in a conventional optical recording element having a transparent substrate of a resin material that the surface of the element is hardened by a light beam, can be solved. Even if a static charge is generated on the surface of such an element, the conductive transparent low-resistance substrate can eliminate the static charge outward whereby a static charge is less likely to be accumulated and the surface can be kept clean in order to improve the reliability.

    摘要: A floating type magnetic head device of the present invention includes a slider capable of floating above a recording medium while moving relatively to the recording medium, and a magnetic head. The magnetic head is incorporated inside a cavity section formed substantially in the center of the slider. By incorporating the magnetic head inside the cavity section, the magnetic head can be protected, thereby reducing a possibility of head crash of the magnetic head due to its contact with dust or a projecting object existing on the surface of the recording medium. Further, by disposing the magnetic head substantially in the center of the slider, it can be avoided that the direction of an air stream at the center of the slider varies depending on an instantaneous position in a radial direction of the recording medium, thereby providing stable floating characteristics of the floating type magnetic head device and improving accuracy of recording.

    摘要: An optical tape including an optical recording layer for permitting information to be optically recorded thereon and a light-reflective magnetic layer. The light-reflective magnetic layer which reflects light projected onto the recording layer, also permits magnetic recording or magneto-optical recording to be performed thereon, thereby increasing a storage capacity of the optical tape remarkably. Further, the optical tape is provided with a layer to form guiding grooves for tracking control. The layer to form guiding grooves is made up of ultraviolet-hardening resin, photo-resist, or a photochromic material. For example, in the case of using ultraviolet-hardening resin, after a guiding groove pattern has been exposed by projecting an ultraviolet ray on a layer made up of ultraviolet-hardening resin, the exposed areas harden to form areas corresponding to guiding grooves between those exposed areas. The guiding grooves are formed by removing the areas corresponding to guiding grooves from the layer made up of the ultraviolet-hardening resin. Additionally, along with a guiding groove pattern, an index pattern can also be exposed. The guiding grooves thus formed do not reduce the recording density for information of the optical tape.

    摘要: A magneto-optical recording medium has a recording layer whereon information is magneto-optically recorded. A readout layer is provided on the recording layer. The readout layer has a compensating temperature that is located between room temperature and the Curie temperature. In the readout layer, upon an application of a light beam, the in-plane magnetization occurs at room temperature and a transition from the in-plane magnetization to vertical magnetization occurs as the temperature of the irradiated area of the readout layer rises above a predetermined temperature. By employing this magneto-optical recording medium, with an application of a light beam that is intensity modulated into two levels, only a spot having a temperature not less than a predetermined temperature is involved in the reproduction; therefore, a recorded bit with a size smaller than the diameter of the light beam can be reproduced, thereby greatly increasing the recording density. Further, the level of the reproduced signals is increased, and crosstalk from the adjoining tracks is reduced; thus, information recording and overwriting can be conducted more easily.
