Abstract:
A write-once optical recording medium includes an optical recording layer and a reaction layer attached to the optical recording layer, wherein the optical recording layer contains a phase change material and the reaction layer contains a dopant. Once the optical recording layer is first written in a predetermined manner, the dopant of the reaction layer diffuses into the phase change material of the optical recording layer, the resulting written optical recording layer is of amorphous phase and has a crystallization rate significantly lower than that of the un-written optical recording layer so that the written optical recording layer cannot be re-written. A light laser can be used to write the write-once optical recording medium of the present invention.
Abstract:
A manufacturing method of a multi-layer optical information record carrier, which has a plurality of layers of reflecting surfaces with pits for recording information. According to the method, a reflective layer is first coated on a stamper with a pit pattern. A radiation-setting adhesive polymer resin is then applied on a substrate with another pit pattern and coated with a partial reflective layer. The substrate and the stamper are combined together and the resin is cured by ultraviolet light. After peeling off the stamper, two reflective layers are formed on the substrate. Finally, two of the substrates are adhered together using polymer resin and one obtains a multi-layer optical information record carrier with dual information layers on both sides.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an optical recording medium including a substrate and a recording layer having a bi-metal film layer structure formed on a surface of the substrate. The recording layer includes a first metal recording layer of a Ge metal thin film and a second metal recording layer of an Au metal thin film. The bi-metal film layer structure can be formed by sputtering, which is therefore compatible with a conventional disc process. In the optical recording medium, a write area of the recording layer is heated by laser irradiation to reach an eutectic point and melted to form alloy. A write recording point can be distinguished by telling a difference in reflectance between the alloy area and the non-reacted metal area, and thus may be used in both a low-speed recording and a high-speed recording, and can be used in FVD and blue ray DVD recorder.
Abstract:
An optical recording medium includes a) a dielectric layer, b) a recording layer, and c) a reflective layer, which are stacked on a surface of a substrate in the described order or stacked on the surface in the order of b) the recording layer, a) the dielectric layer, and c) the reflective layer. The recording layer contains a mixed nickel oxides which decomposes to release a gas and becomes transparent upon heating.
