Examples of the read-only disks are CD-ROM (read only memory) and DVD-ROM.
Examples of rewritable disks are CD ~ R/RW, DVD ~ R/RW, and DVD-RAM
(random mess memory). CD-R and DVD-R can perform recording only once, CD-RW and DVD-RW can perform recording and/or reproduction about 1000 times, and DVD-RAM can perform recording and/or reproduction several hundreds of thousands of times.

[5] In an apparatus for recording and/or reproducing data on and/or from an optical disc, a pickup aaurately follows a track on which user data has been recorded and receives a laser beam reflected from the try, thereby reading the user data. A
signal used when the pickup follows the track is referred to as a tracking signal.
The trying signal is obtained from a photo diode having a plurality of receiving portions, which receive a laser beam and adds or subtracts signals obtained from light received by the individual receiving portions. The tracking signal is shaped in an S-letter curve in which the left and right polarities are opposite to each other around its center.

The tracking signal is shaped in an S-letter curve in which the left and right polarities are opposite to each other around its center.
[6] The tr~lking signal has different polarities depending on the type of optical disk, that is, the physical char~teristics of a recording layer, for example, the physical shape of a pit, the physical shape of a track, and the like. For example, FIGS. lA
and 1B
show groove trues G and land trues L arranged in opposite ways. In FIG. lA, a trying signal has a polarity that changes from (+) to ( - ). In FIG. 1B, the tracking signal has a polarity that changes from ( - ) to (+). As described above, the polarity of a trying signal is classified as a polarity changing from ( - ) to (+) or a polarity changing from (+) to ( - ). A trying signal is differently processed depending on the polarity of the tracking signal. Hence, if the polarity of a tracking signal is wrongly recognized, data may not be properly reprod~ed. Accordingly, when an optical disk is loaded, a conventional recording and/or reprodu~ng apparatus recognizes the polarity of a tracking signal through trial and error and then follows a try on which user data has been recorded, based on the information about the recognized polarity. In this way, the user data is read from the optical disk.
Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem [7] Thus, the conventional reprodu~ng apparatus spends some time obtaining in-formation about the polarity of a tracking signal before reading out user data. This impedes immediate reprod~tion of user data.

[8] The polarity of a trying signal can be changed by the physical shape of a pit. The physical shape of a pit may be different depending on the type of disk.
Fbwever, in the related art, extra information about the polarity of a trying signal depending on the physical shape of a pit is not recorded on a disk, so that the reliability of data recording and/or reproduction is degraded. Also, the conventional reprodu~ng apparatus spends some time obtaining information about the polarity of a trying signal through trial and error, delaying recording and/or reprod~tion.
Technical Solution [9] The present invention provides an optical information storage medium on which information about a tracking polarity depending on a pit shape, particularly, in-formation about a push-pull polarity, has been recorded, and a method of recording and/or reproducing data on and/or from the optical information storage medium.

Mode for Invention [38] Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the ~ompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.
[39] As shown in FIG. 2A, in an optical information storage medium wording to an embodiment of the present invention, data is recorded as protruding pits 10 on a substrate 5. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2B, data is recorded as indented pits 13 on the substrate 5. Information about the protruding pits 10 or the indented pits 13 is recorded in the optical information storage medium [40] The information about the protruding or indented pits 10 or 13 may be tracking polarity information.
[41] When data has been recorded in the form of the protruding pits 10, a tracking signal may have a polarity that changes from (+) to ( - ). When data has been recorded in the form of the indented pits 13, a trying signal may have a polarity that changes from ( - ) to (+). As described above, because the polarity of a tracking signal varies depending on the shape of a pit, the trying signal must be performed differently depending on the pit shape so that data can be normally recorded or reproduced.
[42] The conditions and results of a simulation performed to ascertain the char teristics of a tracking signal are shown in Table 1.
[43] [Table 1]
[44]
LD wavelength ( ~, ) 400nm Numerical aperture of objective 0.85 lens Groove structure Track pitch: 0.32 ~, m Length of minimum mark 0.149 ~,~ m Mark width 0.15 ~, m Modulation technique RLL (1,7) [45] In Table 1, an RLL modulation technique is based on how many bits '0' exist between two bits '1'. RLL (m,k) represents that at least m bits '0' exist between two bits '1' and at most k bits '0' exists therebetween. For example, RLL (1, 7) represents that at least one bit '0' exists between two bits ' 1' and at most 7 bits '0' exist therebetween.
Am~rding to the RLL (m, k) modulation technique, when m is 1, data ' 1010101' is recorded, and a pit with a 2T length exists between two bits '1'. When m is 7, data '10000000100000001' is recorded, and a pit with an 8T length exists between two bits ' 1'. Here, T denotes the length of a minimum mark, that is, a minimum pit.
Hence, in the RLL (1,7) modulation method, data is recorded in the form of pits ranging in length from 2T to 8T and spies.
[46] FIG. 3A shows a radio frequency (RF) signal and a differential phase detection (DPD) signal when data has been recorded in the form of the protruding pits 10. FIG.
3B shows an RF signal and a DPD signal when data has been recorded in the form of the indented pits 13. Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, the DPD signal does not depend on the shape of a pit.
[47] FIG. 4A shows a push-pull signal when data has been recorded in the form of the protruding pits 10, and FIG. 4B shows a push-pull signal when data has been recorded in the form of the indented pits 13. Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, the push-pull signal depends on the shape of a pit. Hence, if data is reproduced or tracked using the push-pull signal, information about a tracking polarity depending on a pit shape needs to be recorded. Am~rdingly, the information about the tracking polarity may be information about the polarity of a push-pull signal.
[48] When recording information about a trying polarity, as shown in FIG. 5, an optical information storage medium wording to an embodiment of the present inv ention includes a plurality of data frames 15, and information about a trying polarity, that is, push-pull polarity information. The push-pull polarity information can be recorded in a sync pattern on a frame sync 14 included in front of an area including a predetermined number of data frames 15. The sync pattern may be a pattern not used as a user data pattern or a pattern of specafic bits. An example of the sync pattern is shown in FIG. 5.
[49] For example, the sync pattern can be formed of a repetition of identical data to represent tracking polarity information. If values '1' are read out consecutively, this means that data is recorded in the form of protruding pits. If values '0' are read out con-secutively, this means that data is recorded in the form of indented pits.
[50] Alternatively, tracking polarity information, that is, push-pull polarity information, may be recorded in a sync pattern of a specific pattern. For example, as shown in FIG.
6A, data '010' is recorded in the frame sync 14 and represents a polarity changing from (+) to ( - ). In this case, if data ' 101' is reproduced after trying, the polarity of a trying signal is processed conversely so that data can be properly reproduced.
In FIG. 6A, the trying polarity information has been recorded in the frame sync 14.
Fbwever, as shown in FIG. 6B, the tracking polarity information may be recorded in a predetermined area 12 in front of the frame sync 14. As described above, the tracking polarity information may be recorded in a part of the frame sync 14 or an area other than the frame sync 14.
[51] FIG. 7A and 7B show different layouts of an information storage medium wording to another embodiment of the present invention. This information storage medium includes a clamping area C, a burst cutting area (BCA) area B, a lead-in area LI, a user data area U, and a lead-out area LO. The clamping area C denotes an area which is pressed down by a clamping apparatus for clamping a disc.
[52] Tracking polarity information may be recorded in the BCA area B. Unique in-formation about a disc, such as, a serial number, a manufactured day/month/year, and the like, may also be recorded in the BCA area B. In FIG. 7A, the BCA area B
is located between the clamping area C and the lead-in area LI. I~wever, as shown in FIG. 7B, the BCA area B may be located in front of the clamping area C.
[53] When tracking polarity information is recorded in the BCA area B, it can be read out before a disc is tried after the disc is loaded on a drive and foazsed.
Thus, a trying servo can be efficiently implemented.
[54] The trying polarity information may also be recorded in the lead-in area LI
instead of the BCA area B.
[55] FIG. 8A shows a layout of a remrdable information storage medium. Data can be recorded in the form of pits in a part of the remrdable information storage medium, for example, in a lead-in area or a lead-out area. Information about the shapes of the pits, that is, tracking polarity information, can be recorded in the lead-in area, preferably, in a disc related information area.
[56] FIG. 8B shows a layout of a reproduction-only information storage medium.
The trying polarity information can be recorded in a disc related information area included in a lead-in area. The tracking polarity information includes push-pull polarity information.
[57] If data is recorded in the form of pits, the pits may be arrayed either in a straight line as shown in FIG. 9A or in a wobbly line as shown in FIG. 9B. When data has been recorded in the form of a straight line of pits, the data recorded in the pits is WO 2004/105000 $ PCT/KR2004/001205 reproduced using a sum channel, and trying can be controlled using DPD or the push-pull technique. If tracking is controlled using the push-pull technique, in-formation about a tradking polarity, that is, push-pull polarity information, is required.
[58] When data has been recorded in the form of a wobbly line of pits (hereinafter, referred to as wobbling pits), additional information can be recorded in the wobbles themselves. The data recorded in the wobbling pits is reproduced using a sum channel, and the additional information recorded in the wobbles can be reproduced using a push-pull channel.
[59] Wobbling pits can be arrayed in a single pattern, which is composed of pits each having identical lengths and spaces. In the single pattern of pits, the pits have no data, and instead the wobble may have data. In this case, a push-pull channel may be used as a channel for reproducing data stored in the wobbling pits.
[60] When data is recorded in the form of wobbling pits, it can be recorded using various modulation techniques. For example, data can be recorded using at least one of a phase modulation technique, a frequency modulation technique, and an amplitude modulation technique.
[61] Referring to FIG. 10, in an information storage medium arxording to another embodiment of the present invention, tradking polarity information is recorded in an area in front of a predetermined data frame, and although data is recorded in different forms, the data in different forms is decoded into identical data by performing an exclusive OR (XOR) operation with respect to the tr~king polarity information and data read out with the tr~king polarity information. The tr~king polarity information may be recorded in a frame sync.
[62] A method of decoding data using an XOR operation when the data has been recorded in the forms of protruding pits or indented pits will now be described. When data recorded in the form of protruding pits is tr~lked, tradking polarity information is read as, for example, '0', and data is read as, for example, '11001...'. When the same data has been recorded in the form of indented pits, tr~king polarity information is read as, for example, ' 1', and data is read as, for example, '00110. . .'.
[63] Referring to FIG. 11A, if tr~king polarity information regarding indented pits is recorded as data '0', and data detected from an n-th data frame is ' 11001. .
.', the tr~king polarity data and the data detected from the n-th data frame undergo an XOR
operation to obtain decoded data ' 11001. . .'.
[64] Referring to FIG. 11B, if tr~king polarity information regarding protruding pits is recorded as data ' 1', and data detected from an n-th data frame is '00110. .
.', the WO 2004/105000 g PCT/KR2004/001205 trying polarity data and the data detected from the n-th data frame undergo an XOR
operation to obtain decoded data ' 11001. . .'.
[65] As described above, since data is decoded using an XOR operation with respect to trying polarity data and data reproduced from pits, data can be properly reproduced and restored regardless of whether the pits are protruding pits or indented pits. Also, decoded data can be obtained without extra change in a controlling operation.
[66] Furthermore, data read out by using tracking polarity information, that is, push-pull polarity information, as a selection signal can be either directly output as decoded data or output as decoded data after the polarity of the data is reversed. In other words, if trying polarity information is recorded in a predetermined pattern, and read-out trying polarity information is the same as the predetermined pattern, data is directly decoded. Fbwever, if tracking polarity information is recorded in a predetermined pattern, and read-out tracking polarity information is different from the predetermined pattern, data is decoded after its polarity is reversed.
[67] The information storage medium arxording to the present invention is applicable to multi-layered information storage media with at least two information storage layers as well as to single-layered information storage media.
[68] FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a data recording and/or reproducing method wording to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 12, in operation 50, an information storage medium is loaded on a disk drive. In operation 55, an optical pickup included in the disk drive reads trying polarity information, that is, push-pull polarity information, from the loaded information storage medium.
The trying polarity information is recorded as in the embodiments described above and used as a basis on which a tracking signal is detected or data is recorded and/or reproduced.
[69] Because a trying polarity varies depending on the protruding pits 10 of FIG. 2A
or the indented pits 13 of FIG. 2B, a trying signal is differently processed aoo~rding to trying polarity information. If tracking polarity information is recorded in the BCA area B, an information storage medium is first loaded on a disk drive, and then foazsing control is Thieved, and the trying polarity information is read from the BCA area B before data is read from the loaded information storage medium.
Thus, trying control and information reproduction are reliable.
[70] In operation 60, the disk drive records data on or reproduces data from a data area by performing tracking control without trials and errors on the basis of the reproduced trying polarity information, that is, push-pull polarity information. In other words, the optical pickup provides the reproduced trying polarity information to the disk drive, and the disk drive controls the optical pickup on the basis of the received in-formation so that data is smoothly recorded on or reproduced from the information storage medium.
[71] Data can be decoded by performing an XOR operation with respect to tracking polarity data and data reproduced from pits. Thus, data can be decoded regardless of a trying polarity.
[72] Data reproduced on the basis of the tracking polarity information may be either directly output as decoded data or output as decoded data after its polarity is reversed.
In other words, if trying polarity information is recorded in a predetermined pattern, and read-out tracking polarity information is the same as the predetermined pattern, data is directly decoded. On the other hand, if trying polarity information is recorded in a predetermined pattern, and read-out tracking polarity information is different from the predetermined pattern, data is decoded after its polarity is reversed.
[73] FIG. 13 schematically illustrates an apparatus for recording data in and/or re-producing data from an information storage medium wording to the present invention. The apparatus includes a pinup 50, a recording/reproducing signal processor 60, and a controller 70. More specifically, the pickup 50 includes a laser diode 51 for radiating light, a collimating lens 52 for collimating the light emitted by the laser diode 51, a beam sputter 54 for changing a path of incident light, and an objective lens 56 for foazsing light passed through the beam sputter 54 on an in-formation storage medium D.
[74] Light reflected by the information storage medium D is reflected by the beam sputter 54 and received by a photodetector, for example, a 4-divisional photodetector 57. The light incident upon the 4-divisional photodetector 57 is converted into an electrical signal while passing through an operational circuit 58. An RF
signal, that is, a sum signal is output via a first channel Chl and a differential signal used in a push-pull technique via a second channel Ch 2.
[75] When the information storage medium D is loaded, the controller 70 controls the pickup 50 to project a beam onto the information storage medium D and reads out a signal into which a beam reflected by the information storage medium D is converted by the signal processor 60. More specifically, the beam reflected by the information storage medium D is applied to the photodetector 57 via the objective lens 56 and the beam sputter 54. The beam incident upon the photodetector 57 is converted into an electrical signal by the operational circuit 58, and the electrical signal is output as an RF signal.
[76] The signal processor 60 processes a data signal girding to trying polarity in-formation read out from the information storage medium D. T he controller 70 controls the pinup 50 based on the data signal processed by the signal processor 60.

[35] FIGS. 11A and 11B are views illustrating a decoding method based on an exclusive OR (XOR) operation of trying polarity data and data that is detected from a data frame in the information storage medium girding to another embodiment of the present invention;
[36] FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a data recording and/or reproducing method wording to another embodiment of the present invention ; and [37] FIG. 13 schematically illustrates an apparatus for recording data in and/or re-producing data from an information storage medium wording to the present invention.
Mode for Invention [38] Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the ~ompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.
[39] As shown in FIG. 2A, in an optical information storage medium wording to an embodiment of the present invention, data is recorded as protruding pits 10 on a substrate 5. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2B, data is recorded as indented pits 13 on the substrate 5. Information about the protruding pits 10 or the indented pits 13 is recorded in the optical information storage medium [40] The information about the protruding or indented pits 10 or 13 may be tracking polarity information.
[41] When data has been recorded in the form of the protruding pits 10, a tracking signal may have a polarity that changes from (+) to ( - ). When data has been recorded in the form of the indented pits 13, a trying signal may have a polarity that changes from ( - ) to (+). As described above, because the polarity of a tracking signal varies depending on the shape of a pit, the trying signal must be performed differently depending on the pit shape so that data can be normally recorded or reproduced.
[42] The conditions and results of a simulation performed to ascertain the char teristics of a tracking signal are shown in Table 1.
[43] [Table 1]
[44]
LD wavelength ( ~, ) 400nm Numerical aperture of objective 0.85 lens Groove structure Track pitch: 0.32 ~, m Length of minimum mark 0.149 ~,~ m Mark width 0.15 ~, m Modulation technique RLL (1,7) [45] In Table 1, an RLL modulation technique is based on how many bits '0' exist between two bits '1'. RLL (m,k) represents that at least m bits '0' exist between two bits '1' and at most k bits '0' exists therebetween. For example, RLL (1, 7) represents that at least one bit '0' exists between two bits ' 1' and at most 7 bits '0' exist therebetween.
Am~rding to the RLL (m, k) modulation technique, when m is 1, data ' 1010101' is recorded, and a pit with a 2T length exists between two bits '1'. When m is 7, data '10000000100000001' is recorded, and a pit with an 8T length exists between two bits ' 1'. Here, T denotes the length of a minimum mark, that is, a minimum pit.
Hence, in the RLL (1,7) modulation method, data is recorded in the form of pits ranging in length from 2T to 8T and spies.
[46] FIG. 3A shows a radio frequency (RF) signal and a differential phase detection (DPD) signal when data has been recorded in the form of the protruding pits 10. FIG.
3B shows an RF signal and a DPD signal when data has been recorded in the form of the indented pits 13. Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, the DPD signal does not depend on the shape of a pit.
[47] FIG. 4A shows a push-pull signal when data has been recorded in the form of the protruding pits 10, and FIG. 4B shows a push-pull signal when data has been recorded in the form of the indented pits 13. Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, the push-pull signal depends on the shape of a pit. Hence, if data is reproduced or tracked using the push-pull signal, information about a tracking polarity depending on a pit shape needs to be recorded. Am~rdingly, the information about the tracking polarity may be information about the polarity of a push-pull signal.
[48] When recording information about a trying polarity, as shown in FIG. 5, an optical information storage medium wording to an embodiment of the present inv ention includes a plurality of data frames 15, and information about a trying polarity, that is, push-pull polarity information. The push-pull polarity information can be recorded in a sync pattern on a frame sync 14 included in front of an area including a predetermined number of data frames 15. The sync pattern may be a pattern not used as a user data pattern or a pattern of specafic bits. An example of the sync pattern is shown in FIG. 5.
[49] For example, the sync pattern can be formed of a repetition of identical data to represent tracking polarity information. If values '1' are read out consecutively, this means that data is recorded in the form of protruding pits. If values '0' are read out con-secutively, this means that data is recorded in the form of indented pits.
[50] Alternatively, tracking polarity information, that is, push-pull polarity information, may be recorded in a sync pattern of a specific pattern. For example, as shown in FIG.
6A, data '010' is recorded in the frame sync 14 and represents a polarity changing from (+) to ( - ). In this case, if data ' 101' is reproduced after trying, the polarity of a trying signal is processed conversely so that data can be properly reproduced.
In FIG. 6A, the trying polarity information has been recorded in the frame sync 14.
Fbwever, as shown in FIG. 6B, the tracking polarity information may be recorded in a predetermined area 12 in front of the frame sync 14. As described above, the tracking polarity information may be recorded in a part of the frame sync 14 or an area other than the frame sync 14.
[51] FIG. 7A and 7B show different layouts of an information storage medium wording to another embodiment of the present invention. This information storage medium includes a clamping area C, a burst cutting area (BCA) area B, a lead-in area LI, a user data area U, and a lead-out area LO. The clamping area C denotes an area which is pressed down by a clamping apparatus for clamping a disc.
[52] Tracking polarity information may be recorded in the BCA area B. Unique in-formation about a disc, such as, a serial number, a manufactured day/month/year, and the like, may also be recorded in the BCA area B. In FIG. 7A, the BCA area B
is located between the clamping area C and the lead-in area LI. I~wever, as shown in FIG. 7B, the BCA area B may be located in front of the clamping area C.
[53] When tracking polarity information is recorded in the BCA area B, it can be read out before a disc is tried after the disc is loaded on a drive and foazsed.
Thus, a trying servo can be efficiently implemented.
[54] The trying polarity information may also be recorded in the lead-in area LI
instead of the BCA area B.
[55] FIG. 8A shows a layout of a remrdable information storage medium. Data can be recorded in the form of pits in a part of the remrdable information storage medium, for example, in a lead-in area or a lead-out area. Information about the shapes of the pits, that is, tracking polarity information, can be recorded in the lead-in area, preferably, in a disc related information area.
[56] FIG. 8B shows a layout of a reproduction-only information storage medium.
The trying polarity information can be recorded in a disc related information area included in a lead-in area. The tracking polarity information includes push-pull polarity information.
[57] If data is recorded in the form of pits, the pits may be arrayed either in a straight line as shown in FIG. 9A or in a wobbly line as shown in FIG. 9B. When data has been recorded in the form of a straight line of pits, the data recorded in the pits is WO 2004/105000 $ PCT/KR2004/001205 reproduced using a sum channel, and trying can be controlled using DPD or the push-pull technique. If tracking is controlled using the push-pull technique, in-formation about a tradking polarity, that is, push-pull polarity information, is required.
[58] When data has been recorded in the form of a wobbly line of pits (hereinafter, referred to as wobbling pits), additional information can be recorded in the wobbles themselves. The data recorded in the wobbling pits is reproduced using a sum channel, and the additional information recorded in the wobbles can be reproduced using a push-pull channel.
[59] Wobbling pits can be arrayed in a single pattern, which is composed of pits each having identical lengths and spaces. In the single pattern of pits, the pits have no data, and instead the wobble may have data. In this case, a push-pull channel may be used as a channel for reproducing data stored in the wobbling pits.
[60] When data is recorded in the form of wobbling pits, it can be recorded using various modulation techniques. For example, data can be recorded using at least one of a phase modulation technique, a frequency modulation technique, and an amplitude modulation technique.
[61] Referring to FIG. 10, in an information storage medium arxording to another embodiment of the present invention, tradking polarity information is recorded in an area in front of a predetermined data frame, and although data is recorded in different forms, the data in different forms is decoded into identical data by performing an exclusive OR (XOR) operation with respect to the tr~king polarity information and data read out with the tr~king polarity information. The tr~king polarity information may be recorded in a frame sync.
[62] A method of decoding data using an XOR operation when the data has been recorded in the forms of protruding pits or indented pits will now be described. When data recorded in the form of protruding pits is tr~lked, tradking polarity information is read as, for example, '0', and data is read as, for example, '11001...'. When the same data has been recorded in the form of indented pits, tr~king polarity information is read as, for example, ' 1', and data is read as, for example, '00110. . .'.
[63] Referring to FIG. 11A, if tr~king polarity information regarding indented pits is recorded as data '0', and data detected from an n-th data frame is ' 11001. .
.', the tr~king polarity data and the data detected from the n-th data frame undergo an XOR
operation to obtain decoded data ' 11001. . .'.
[64] Referring to FIG. 11B, if tr~king polarity information regarding protruding pits is recorded as data ' 1', and data detected from an n-th data frame is '00110. .
.', the WO 2004/105000 g PCT/KR2004/001205 trying polarity data and the data detected from the n-th data frame undergo an XOR
operation to obtain decoded data ' 11001. . .'.
[65] As described above, since data is decoded using an XOR operation with respect to trying polarity data and data reproduced from pits, data can be properly reproduced and restored regardless of whether the pits are protruding pits or indented pits. Also, decoded data can be obtained without extra change in a controlling operation.
[66] Furthermore, data read out by using tracking polarity information, that is, push-pull polarity information, as a selection signal can be either directly output as decoded data or output as decoded data after the polarity of the data is reversed. In other words, if trying polarity information is recorded in a predetermined pattern, and read-out trying polarity information is the same as the predetermined pattern, data is directly decoded. Fbwever, if tracking polarity information is recorded in a predetermined pattern, and read-out tracking polarity information is different from the predetermined pattern, data is decoded after its polarity is reversed.
[67] The information storage medium arxording to the present invention is applicable to multi-layered information storage media with at least two information storage layers as well as to single-layered information storage media.
[68] FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a data recording and/or reproducing method wording to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 12, in operation 50, an information storage medium is loaded on a disk drive. In operation 55, an optical pickup included in the disk drive reads trying polarity information, that is, push-pull polarity information, from the loaded information storage medium.
The trying polarity information is recorded as in the embodiments described above and used as a basis on which a tracking signal is detected or data is recorded and/or reproduced.
[69] Because a trying polarity varies depending on the protruding pits 10 of FIG. 2A
or the indented pits 13 of FIG. 2B, a trying signal is differently processed aoo~rding to trying polarity information. If tracking polarity information is recorded in the BCA area B, an information storage medium is first loaded on a disk drive, and then foazsing control is Thieved, and the trying polarity information is read from the BCA area B before data is read from the loaded information storage medium.
Thus, trying control and information reproduction are reliable.
[70] In operation 60, the disk drive records data on or reproduces data from a data area by performing tracking control without trials and errors on the basis of the reproduced trying polarity information, that is, push-pull polarity information. In other words, the optical pickup provides the reproduced trying polarity information to the disk drive, and the disk drive controls the optical pickup on the basis of the received in-formation so that data is smoothly recorded on or reproduced from the information storage medium.
[71] Data can be decoded by performing an XOR operation with respect to tracking polarity data and data reproduced from pits. Thus, data can be decoded regardless of a trying polarity.
[72] Data reproduced on the basis of the tracking polarity information may be either directly output as decoded data or output as decoded data after its polarity is reversed.
In other words, if trying polarity information is recorded in a predetermined pattern, and read-out tracking polarity information is the same as the predetermined pattern, data is directly decoded. On the other hand, if trying polarity information is recorded in a predetermined pattern, and read-out tracking polarity information is different from the predetermined pattern, data is decoded after its polarity is reversed.
[73] FIG. 13 schematically illustrates an apparatus for recording data in and/or re-producing data from an information storage medium wording to the present invention. The apparatus includes a pinup 50, a recording/reproducing signal processor 60, and a controller 70. More specifically, the pickup 50 includes a laser diode 51 for radiating light, a collimating lens 52 for collimating the light emitted by the laser diode 51, a beam sputter 54 for changing a path of incident light, and an objective lens 56 for foazsing light passed through the beam sputter 54 on an in-formation storage medium D.
[74] Light reflected by the information storage medium D is reflected by the beam sputter 54 and received by a photodetector, for example, a 4-divisional photodetector 57. The light incident upon the 4-divisional photodetector 57 is converted into an electrical signal while passing through an operational circuit 58. An RF
signal, that is, a sum signal is output via a first channel Chl and a differential signal used in a push-pull technique via a second channel Ch 2.
[75] When the information storage medium D is loaded, the controller 70 controls the pickup 50 to project a beam onto the information storage medium D and reads out a signal into which a beam reflected by the information storage medium D is converted by the signal processor 60. More specifically, the beam reflected by the information storage medium D is applied to the photodetector 57 via the objective lens 56 and the beam sputter 54. The beam incident upon the photodetector 57 is converted into an electrical signal by the operational circuit 58, and the electrical signal is output as an RF signal.
[76] The signal processor 60 processes a data signal girding to trying polarity in-formation read out from the information storage medium D. T he controller 70 controls the pinup 50 based on the data signal processed by the signal processor 60.
