Abstract:
The present invention provides an optical disc on which a visible image can be formed by irradiation of laser light, which comprises a logo area on which visible information is indicated, a pre-pit signal area, and an image forming area on which a visible image can be formed by irradiation of laser light; and an image forming method of forming a visible image by irradiation of laser light on an optical disc, the method including detecting a pre-pit signal from a pre-pit signal area formed on the optical disc, and forming the visible image based on the result of the detection, wherein the optical disc is the optical disc of an aspect of the invention.
Abstract:
The invention provides an optical disk system having at least: an optical disk comprising, on a substrate having pre-pits, an image-recording layer capable of drawing an image by irradiating a laser light; and a reading device which reads information included in the pre-pits by a return light of the laser light when the laser light having a wavelength of in a range of 630 to 680 nm is irradiated to the pre-pit of the optical disk. The pre-pits have a shortest pit length in a range from 0.6 to 0.9 µm being formed on the substrate. The invention further provides an optical disk recording apparatus, an image drawing method and an optical disk which utilize the optical disk system.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of forming an optical disc having at least: forming a first lamination body having a first substrate, an information recording layer or pits, and the first reflection layer; forming a second lamination body having a second substrate, an image-recording layer that is capable of undergoing recording of a visible image by irradiation of laser light, and a second reflection layer having a thickness of 40 to 100 nm; and adhering the first lamination body and the second lamination body so that the first reflection layer provided on the first lamination body and the second reflection layer provided on the second lamination body are faced toward each other across an adhesive layer. The adhering includes hardening a radiation-curing resin so as to form the adhesive layer. Further, the hardening includes irradiating the radiation-curing resin with radiation ray from the side of the second substrate.
