摘要:
An optical recording medium includes a main-information area in which a metal reflection film is formed on a substrate where a row of pits is formed as main data, and a sub-information area in which is recorded medium identification information, which is used to identify the optical recording medium individually, by removing the metal reflection film partially and forming a plurality of reflection-film removed areas. Information is reproduced by irradiating the metal reflection film with a beam of light. In the sub-information area, a row of pits or a guide groove is formed on the substrate, and a track pitch of the row of pits or the guide groove is at least 0.24 μm wide and at most 0.45 μm wide.

A method of manufacturing an optical information recording medium that has a substrate having a signal recording layer formed on one principal surface thereof; and an optically transparent layer formed on the signal recording layer and made from a radiation cure type resin. According to the method, when the optically transparent layer is formed, the radiation cure type resin is supplied onto the substrate, and the radiation cure type resin is applied over the substrate by spinning the substrate at a predetermined number of application revolutions in a spin coating method. The number of revolutions of the substrate is increased after the application of the resin, and radiation is irradiated to cure the radiation cure type resin while the number of revolutions of the substrate is increased.

An optical information recording medium includes a substrate, n information recording layers provided on the substrate, and spacer layers, each of which is provided so as to be interposed between the information recording layers, wherein each of (n−1) or more of the information recording layers has a layer number information part that is formed in correspondence with one or more recording marks X and contains layer number information, where n represents an integer of not less than 2, and the layer number information is information used for determining which a given information recording layer is among the n information recording layers. Each recording mark X has a length in a circumferential direction longer than a length of a recording mark Y used for recording another information in the information recording layers.

A disc-shaped optical data recording medium has a signal recording layer for reading and/or writing data using light, and a 10 μm to 200 μm thick transparent protective layer disposed over the signal recording layer. The optical data recording medium includes a protrusion projecting from a surface of the transparent protective layer on a light-incidence surface side to which light is emitted to the signal recording layer. The protrusion is disposed in an area between a center hole and a clamping area where the optical data recording medium is held when reading and/or writing data in the signal recording layer.

摘要:
An optical information recording medium is manufactured by bonding a first substrate having a first central bore and a second substrate having a second central bore to each other with radiation cure resin. The radiation cure resin is coated on the first substrate. The first and second substrates are brought into close contact with each other so as to form the first and second substrates integrally with the radiation cure resin. A neighborhood of the first and second central bores is radiated. A whole of at least one of opposite outer faces of the integral first and second substrates is irradiated with radiation so as to wholly cure the radiation cure resin.
