Description

Optical registration tape
The present invention relates to a kind of method of making the read-only optical recording media of soft band forms.
The invention still further relates to a kind of read-only optical recording media of soft band forms with layer structure.
The invention further relates to a tape, comprise a shell that holds this optical registration tape that connects together with two spools, recording strip partly is wound on one of them spool, and links on another spool.
In optical recording media, the binary data that is write down can read by the reflectivity recording surface scanning focus band along this medium.Each data bit in this recording surface is to be represented by the regional area with specific reflection characteristic, and these characteristics are mutually different for representing 1 data bit and representing 0 data bit.For example, in the CD dish, data bit is to be represented by a series of pits on smooth recording surface.The degree of depth value of being chosen as λ/4n of these pits, wherein scanning light beam be assumed to be polarization and have a monochromatic wavelength X (in air), recording surface is refracted rate by hypothesis and is covered by the protective film of n.As a result, the light that reflects from pit bottom is compared with the light that the non-pit position from recording surface reflects, and will show the optical path difference (differ and be π) of λ/2n.On the basis of interference effect, this phase shift detection can be come out.In this way, pattern that can light playback record surface, and the pairing bit stream of this pattern.
The method of describing in the beginning paragraph can be learnt from German patent application DE3520111, wherein utilizes screen printing process to produce very little colour attaching area on the reflection record surface of belt.Around the reflectivity that these are regional and its not the reflectivity of colored surface differ greatly, thereby the intensity after can reflecting from recording surface by the monitor scans light beam reads out the data light that is stored on the belt.
Make in the method for optical registration tape at another, can use so-called phase-change material, after local heating, can experience the irreversible change (arriving crystalline state) of crystalline state, be accompanied by the change of reflectivity as amorphous state.The such material of one deck on the ribbon base can utilize its intensity to come imprinting according to the focussed laser beam of given bit stream modulation.Similar to above-mentioned medium, can information be retrieved out from phase change layer by monitoring the intensity of the light beam that reflects from phase change layer.
The another method of describing in the beginning paragraph is discussed in the article of the Byte magazine 274-280 in February, 1989 page or leaf by D.Pountain.This method is utilized laser ablation, impacts local pit in the dyestuff polymeric layer on the metal film on covering ribbon base.When focused beam shone on the dyestuff polymeric layer of pit, the part light intensity will be returned by the surface reflection from this layer immediately, and remaining light intensity will be thoroughly through the underlying metal film, also will experience reflection there.After this, the light beam that reflects from metal film and pit surface interferes with each other, and the degree of interference depends on the non-pit portion whether surperficial light beam comes from pit or dyestuff polymeric layer.Utilize this mode, the pattern of band pit surface can read out by light.
Method that all these are known and the medium product relevant with them all have certain disadvantage.For example:
In first medium, utilize the representative diameter of the minimum painted areas that screen printing process can produce to be the 20-50 micron dimension.In contrast, the width of pit is 1 micron dimension on the CD dish.Therefore clearly, the storage density of this colour band is more far short of what is expected than the magnitude that disc reached.In addition, the essence that reads process generally makes colour attaching area be exposed under the light laser, and incident is the dyestuff long-term risk of fading and the raising of relevant therewith noise magnitude.
Under the situation of second kind of medium, the intrinsic shortcoming of phase-change material is that they must be by real-time imprinting, and promptly they are same magnitude by the speed of the speed of imprinting and their playback.This is because local phase change region must utilize focussed laser beam to write in order.The another one shortcoming is the intrinsic statistical risk at some regional spontaneous umklapp transformation.Although this risk is smaller, in the long run, it causes the rising of noise magnitude.
The shortcoming of the third medium is that the pit that utilizes laser ablation to produce is quite uncertain, the inhomogeneous and limit wall rising of the degree of depth.In addition, the material that is removed to produce pit in first position may be precipitated as other local unwanted residue on the medium.Further, under the situation, the medium of ablation must be by imprinting in real time, this slow (and cost height) in front.
One object of the present invention provides another alternative method of making the read-only optical recording media of soft band forms.Particularly, the objective of the invention is such method and should prevent the problems referred to above.Especially, an object of the present invention is to provide and a kind ofly can in recording layer, produce the method for the data area of sharp outline, and can not produce the problem of residue precipitation.Further, the objective of the invention is, if desired, these regional width should be 1 micron magnitude.In addition, the objective of the invention is this new method and should allow the above-mentioned recording layer of quick imprinting.
These and other objects realize in a method, the method is characterized in that it comprises the following step:
(a) provide banded soft matrix;
(b) on matrix, add moldable recording layer;
(c) by means of pressing mold mold pressing operation record layer under pressure, to form the pattern of the low high surf zone of representing a collection of binary data;
(d) on the recording layer of mold pressing, add upper protective film.
The inventive method has been utilized a wonderful discovery, will be illustrated here.
Because recording layer will wind up self inevitably in storage process, and in the read procedure in typical playback apparatus, common and different spool and feed rollers contact, it is extremely important that belt shows certain surfaceness, so that prevent that it is with own or other surface adhesion.On the other hand, optical registration tape is preferably smooth on the optics in one side that recording surface is read.Normally one side is enough coarse coordinates away from this of recording surface by guaranteeing belt for this two requirements.Similar to tape, such requirement can be by containing so-called filling agent, and promptly the method for deposit recording layer realizes economically on the matrix material of the molecule of Qian Ruing.For this purpose and the example of widely used matrix material is polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
Consider the risk that in the mold process matrix roughness of reality is pressed onto recording surface, have the people to think that perhaps coarse matrix material meeting and mold process is incompatible.Yet, the inventor has been found that, such worry does not have basis, and show, surprisingly, the minute sized pit of sharp outline can successfully be over-molded on the recording layer (as directly being deposited on photo curable resin bed on the PET substrate foil that contains filling material) that covers on the coarse matrix.It is not crucial using so-called glue-line (cushion) between matrix and recording layer.
Multiple advantage of the present invention is conspicuous.For example, because actual imprinting relates to pressing mold and comes mold pressing rather than laser ablation, do not have dregs to be deposited in problem on the recording surface, and the shape of mold pressing (constant width of pit and length changes) usually can resemble the situation in the CD dish small and clearly definite.Furtherly, come mold pressing to allow with pressing mold with very high speed imprinting.
The method according to this invention, pressing mold itself can be taked (hard) cydariform, and its cylindrical surface contains along the minute protrusions of helicity paths arrangement, and the width in this path is identical with the width of belt.If this pressing mold rolls in some way along the recording layer of belt, make that the contact area between drum and the belt shifts along above-mentioned spirality path, then recording layer will be engraved and the corresponding pit of above-mentioned projection.
In according to another aspect of the present invention, pressing mold takes to have (hard) band shape of generatrix, generatrix the small projection of row axially arranged.If this pressing mold band from a spool around to the another one spool, therefore its generatrix twists at the recording layer of some point with the optics belt, this belt simultaneously with identical speed and direction around between two different spools, then, recording layer will be endowed the pit corresponding to projection on the generatrix.
The soft matrix of Cai Yonging can be by filling agent (as small silicon or alumina particles) wherein in the methods of the invention, or comes roughening by adding the back lining in the above.The example of the matrix material that the first kind is suitable is LUMIRROR (a Toray industrial group), and this is that a kind of thickness is approximately 8 microns clear PET film, and contains the filling agent that diameter is the 400nm magnitude.On the other hand, the matrix material that second class is suitable is that one side is contained the PET film that the binder (as glue-line) of carbon black, chrome green or lime carbonate (desirable diameter range the is 50-300nm) particle of diffusion is wrapped up; Coarse lining thickness only needs 1 micron magnitude.
In particular embodiment of the process according to the invention, moldable recording layer is selected to comprise photo curable organic polymer material, and at mold pressing stage (c), the interface of recording layer and pressing mold is exposed to the actinic radiation of curing.The examples of material that this class is suitable is SURPHEX (the Du Pont of Du Pont), and this is the ultraviolet solidifiable material of a kind of dryness, the available thin slice that is shaped as standard thickness (micrometer range).Such thin slice can directly laminate into the matrix film, as passing through heating and roll extrusion.As another example, can use the photo curable resin of dryness (as the polypropylene ester), by it is dissolved in the volatile solvent and then with the solution roller coating that obtains, spray or brush on the film, it is added on the matrix film.
The alternative embodiment of another of the inventive method is characterized in that, the selected thermoplastic that comprises of moldable recording layer in mold pressing step (c), at first by thermal softening, is then being pressed back permission cooling hardening by pressing mold.The softening temperature of the thermoplastic that is adopted should be lower than matrix material; Utilize this mode, recording layer can be softened but matrix is unlikely to softening (being accompanied by the risk that the matrix roughness reduces).The example that is used for the suitable thermoplastic of this purpose is Polyvinylchloride and polypropylene.
In the another embodiment of the inventive method, recording layer before the mold pressing by on by the surface that chemical solvent is added in its exposure and by chemical tendering.The candidate's solvent that is used for this purpose comprises, as acetone and isopropyl alcohol and various chloro alkane solution, and ether and ester, appropriate selection depends on the employed certain material of recording layer.After being molded, removing from recording layer by the solvent that will adopt and to make its sclerosis.This can realize by the heating recording layer.
The thickness that recording layer has usually is the magnitude of 1-10 micron, and thicker or thinner recording layer is also consistent with the inventive method.
The diaphragm that provides in the step (d) of the inventive method can be inorganic or organic.Suitable inorganic material such as SiO 2, TiO 2, AlN, Si 3N 4Deng can by the reactive sputtering deposit or the evaporation provide.On the other hand, suitable organic material such as polycarbamate or second fat can utilize roller coating or the means that are coated with or brush of disputing provide.Under the organic membrane situation, the typical thickness of diaphragm is the 2-10 micron dimension, and under the inoranic membrane situation, is the 200-500 micron, but if necessary, also can be thicker.
The surface that diaphragm exposes preferably optically is smooth.Here the term of indication " smooth on the optics " is meant that the rms surface roughness is 50nm to the maximum, preferably is no more than 20nm, and ideal situation is for being no more than 5nm.Such result normally obtains automatically as its capillary effect in the diaphragm forming process.
A particular embodiment according to the inventive method is characterized in that, in step (c) with (d), and metallic reflector of deposit on the surface of recording layer mold pressing.Such reflection horizon can be by simple metal or alloy composition, and can utilize as sputtering deposit, vapour deposition or laser ablation deposition and provide.The examples of material that is used for this purpose comprises aluminium, gold, copper, silver and their alloy.Adopt such reflection horizon to guarantee with focused beam scanning medium record surface the time, can have enough light intensity to be reflected, thereby obtain qualified output signal magnitude.
An alternative embodiment according to the inventive method is characterized in that, adds a kind of dyestuff on recording layer and/or diaphragm at least, so that obtain significant difference between the refractive index of recording layer and diaphragm (reading the wavelength place of light beam).In this way, might increase the reflectivity at interface between diaphragm and the recording layer (light can be worn diaphragm thoroughly).Particularly for enough refractive index differences, the relevant Brewster angle in the diaphragm is smaller, can obtain total internal reflection at the interface at this.Here the term of Cai Yonging " refractive index " should be interpreted as representing complex index =n+ik, n is real refractive index here, k is an absorption coefficient.The value of recording layer and diaphragm
Figure A9619147400082
Between difference can be Real part or imaginary part, or both all are.Yet,, absorb unfavourably to avoid into light beam and folded light beam adding under the situation of dyestuff that the k value of dyestuff preferably should be smaller for guarantor's expansion film.
The example of the suitable dye of discussing in the paragraph comprises pyrans pellet-4 in front, 4-cyanine dye and butyl-benzo-indoles-carbocyanine.These dyestuffs n value separately is 3.270 and 3.050, and each k value was 0.570 and 0.058 (when all values refers to that all wavelength is 780nm).Another alternative dyestuff can be the squarylium dyestuff.
If desired or wish, can add other different layers at the step (a) and (b) of the inventive method, (c) with (d) between added each layer.For example:
Figure A9619147400084
Can between matrix and recording layer, add an adhering layer or adhesion-promoting layer;
Figure A9619147400085
Between recording layer and diaphragm, add dielectric layer;

At the coarse lining of this one side of matrix away from recording layer.
This tabulation just provides with the form of example, and is not whole.
Can be used to make a kind of novel read-only optical registration tape of superior performance according to the method for the inventive method.Such recording strip is characterised in that it has layer structure, comprises in order:

It is one of following that " reflexive recording surface " of top indication may be interpreted as:

Material strengthens at this reflectivity at the interface.
" variation of local height " can be by giving pit to recording layer or projection realizes.For example, along any given path, " 1 " available pit is represented, the representative of the plane of the surperficial S of " 0 " then available generation pit (being non-pit) part, and the length of pit or horizontal component is the integral multiple of each base unit of one of representative.The bottom of surface S and each pit all is reflexive, the read record surface of coming up, the basis that can differ between (polarization) light beam that reflects from surperficial S and the light beam that reflects from pit bottom.For this reason, for wavelength was (polarization) light of λ and diaphragm that real refractive index is n, the difference in height size of recording surface was preferably λ/4n.
Various other layers also can be included in the layer structure of medium of the present invention (top discussed), and these layers comprise as adhering layer, adhesion-promoting layer, dielectric layer, lining etc.
The invention still further relates to the tape that contains the shell that holds two spools and read-only optical registration tape of the present invention, recording strip partly reel (at least) on a spool and with another spool, link to each other.In a special embodiment of this tape, recording strip arrives another through a guiding device from a spool, this guiding device is used in some way belt being positioned at the breach back on the shell, so that allow to read by this breach optics original position the recording surface of belt.Yet such guiding device is not certain needs: if this needs are arranged, belt can roll out from the shell of tape and can dystopy (ex situ) read.
