Description

Through improved multi-layer optical disc format
Technical field
Present invention relates in general to field of optical disc technology, more specifically but be not limited to relate to through improved disk format and forming method thereof.
Background technology
CD is the data storage medium that is used to store various digital encoded data.These dishes are easy to carry in fact usually, and can play in the various device such as personal computer, car audio player, household audio and video system, hand-held personal entertainment device, family game system etc.
Typical CD comprises circular discs, and this circular discs has or more a plurality of data storage (record) layer of the reflectorized material that embeds in the refraction substrate.Each layer typically along basic and described disc spins around the vertical plane of axle be provided with, and store data with the form of the regional area (pit (pits) and boss (lands)) of different reflectivity.Can be along helical orbit or a plurality of nested concentric rail storage data of continuous extension.
The data-switching head uses laser or similar light source, based on the different reflectivity output read back waveform of pit and land area.Decoding circuit is decoded to user data, so that export by suitable reproducer.
CD can be prerecorded or recordable.Pre-recorded disc typically comprises the embedded metal layer of each pit of storage and boss.In a single day described metal layer uses injection moulding (injection molding) to handle and forms in the manufacture process of dish, and finishes the dish manufacturing operation, data just are stamped in the dish forever.
Recordable disc is the medium that can write data.When this uses, " can write down " contained the dish (WORM dish) that can write once or the dish (can override dish) that repeatedly writes and wipes the two.WORM dish typically utilizes the embeding layer of dyestuff or other material, and this embeding layer can optionally be exposed to writes laser beam, so that the zone with pit and the corresponding different reflectivity of boss permanently to be provided.Can override dish and typically utilize light beam to write the data as the zone of a series of different reflectivities, and the data of utilizing magnetic field to wipe before to have write.
Since each byte is all identical on each duplicate of CD, then pre-recorded optical disc has the low advantage of every byte records data cost.The shortcoming of pre-recorded optical disc is after making substrate, a certain amount of unique information (being sequence number, Product Activation sign indicating number, software " patch " or renewal etc.) can not be increased on each dish.
The advantage of CD-R is: can be in each disc recording unique data value.The shortcoming of CD-R is: the full content data are record after making all, thereby has increased the cost of each byte.Usually, content supplier tends to use pre-recorded disc at producing in enormous quantities, with realization production efficiency, and at small serial production, then turns to the use recordable disc gradually.
Repeatedly attempted creating a kind of " mixing " CD, the part of its mid-game is prerecorded, and another part is recordable.A purpose of this method is to utilize the advantage of low cost of every byte of pre-recorded data, is provided at the dirigibility that dish is gone up increases follow-up simultaneously.The example of the dish of these types comprises Kodak CD-PROM and ODC TMCDR-ROM.But these dishes typically have prerecord part and recording section in the one side that is fabricated onto substrate, and this handles the manufacturing of dish and becomes complicated, transmit the cost of byte thereby increased each.But the mixing pan of other type is arranged to prerecord and recording section can conduct interviews from the opposite face of dish, and this needs two heads or dish to be reversed to visit two parts.
Because continuous demand for the content that provides on the CD; so there is the continuous requirement to following dish form through improving: this dish form implements relatively easy and cheap, and the dirigibility of containing such as the various requirement of tracking and copy-protection system is provided.The present invention is improved to target with these and other generally.

With reference to figure 1, there is shown a kind of optical disc reproduction system 100, described optical disc reproduction system 100 is configured to the data that store in the CD 102 of constructing according to various preferred embodiments described here are carried out retaking of a year or grade.Motor 104 is with constant linear velocity (CLV) rotating disc 102, and comprises that compact disk laser pick-up part based on the conversion head 106 of laser and linear actuators assembly 108 is to decoding from the data pattern of dish 102.Readback processor 110 is carried out necessary signal Processing so that analog output signal is outputed to output device 112.This output device 112 can be taked various ways according to the type that is stored in the data of dish on 102, thereby can comprise household audio and video system, computer system, portable or disk player for vehicles etc.
Fig. 2 example generally illustrates following mode, wherein in retaking of a year or grade operating period, by system's 100 accesses disk 102 of Fig. 1.Dish 102 is envisaged as the single-surface single-layer dish in Fig. 2, as the digital versatile disc (as DVD-5) of compact disk (CD, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-R/W etc.) or particular type.
Single data layer 114 comprises Lead-In Area 116, and described Lead-In Area 116 has contents table (TOC) or relates to other provisioning information of the content (in program area 118) of dish 102.The end of leading-out zone 120 display discs 102.
Fig. 3 example illustrates following general mode, and wherein when dish was single face, double-layer structure (as DVD-9), system 100 read dish 102.Dish 102 among Fig. 3 comprises two data Layers 122,124 (being expressed as " layer 0 " and " layer 1 ").Ground floor 122 (layer 0) has Lead-In Area 126, is thereafter program area 128 and mesozone 130.The second layer 124 (layer 1) has mesozone 132, program area 134 and leading-out zone 136.During retaking of a year or grade, with shown in direction read each layer.Typically skip mesozone 130,132.Content information (as contents table) is stored in the content of discerning two program areas 128,134 in the Lead-In Area 126.
According to preferred embodiment, CD 102 has many board structures, substantially as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.In Fig. 4, first substrate 150 comprises prerecorded first data storage layer 152 (being also referred to as a layer L0 at this) along substrate boundaries 154.Second substrate 156 comprises recordable second data storage layer 158 (being also referred to as a layer L1 at this) along substrate boundaries 160.During manufacture, second substrate 156 is invested first substrate 150 to finish dish 102 (preferably via unshowned middle layers).After this via visiting each data storage layer 152,158 by coiling 102 common boundary surface 162 from the data-switching light beam (illustrating) of head 106 by arrow 161.
The embodiment of Fig. 5 is similar with the embodiment of Fig. 4 generally, therefore uses identical label.Yet in Fig. 5, second data storage layer 158 is positioned on the end face 164 of second substrate.As hereinbefore, visit each layer 152,158 by common boundary surface 162.
Can envision the various alternative arrangements and the feature of the preferred embodiments of the present invention.In certain embodiments, one of data storage layer 152,158, physically exceed the position formation dish authentication district of normal access region (being importing, program and the leading-out zone of Fig. 2 and Fig. 3), and be used to coil authentication purpose.
In other embodiments, but dish 102 is configured to allow the final user by recording layer 158 to carry out follow-up renewal.In other other embodiment, use following addressing scheme, make playback system 100 be considered as " list " recording layer with two-layer 152,158, as long as so relate to this playback system, just do not consider when but data are write in the recording layer 158, and the total data in each layer 152,158 is considered as in individual layer (being layer 0 or the layer 1 among Fig. 3).These and other modified example is discussed below successively.
Fig. 6 provides the overall statement according to the CD 102 of first embodiment, wherein dish is envisioned for to comprise prerecord DVD-5 dish.Note, enlarged various ratios and simplified following discussion with the location.
Person of skill in the art will appreciate that the DVD-5 dish is a kind of single face, single-layered disk of storage about 4.7 GB (G) data.The thickness of this dish is near 1.2 millimeters (mm), and formed by the polycarbonate dish 202,204 of two approximate 0.6mm, described son coil 202,204 and thin binding layer 206 combine.
Last son dish 202 comprises top substrate boundaries 208 and substrate border 210.Following son dish 204 comprises top substrate boundaries 212 and substrate border 214.Serigraphy label or similar label 216 are invested on the top substrate boundaries 208 of son dish 202, so that people and/or machine-readable content information (bar code etc.) to be provided.
As previously mentioned, system 100 conducts interviews to the dish among Fig. 6 102 up, and feasible data-switching light beam from light picker passes through substrate border 214, and enters son dish 204 under the polycarbonate.Beam impinges is formed on down the metallized reflective layer 218 on the top substrate boundaries 212 of son dish 204, and the Returning beam that turns back to light picker with passing down son dish 204 detects the pit of formation herein and the relative reflectance of boss explicitly.
Because commutating optical beam has penetrated and has coiled 102 outside surface (being lower boundary 214), and the substrate (promptly descending polycarbonate dish 204) that passes dish visits another apparent surface (being medial border 212) of substrate, so sometimes this visit is called " second surface record ".This impacts outer substrate boundaries with commutating optical beam wherein and does not penetrate " the first surface record " of substrate opposite.
Recording layer in the dish 102 among Fig. 6 is called as dish authentication region (being identified at 220 places), and also uses the second surface recording technique that it is conducted interviews.Zone 220 is preferably formed by a series of wiggle pregroove (wiggle pre-groove) in the top substrate boundaries 208 of last son dish 202 (not shown for simplifying).Recording dye layer 222 covers on the pregroove marks, and planar metallised reflection horizon 224 covers on the recording dye layer 222.
During the accessing operation to zone 220, light picker is focused, and makes commutating optical beam pass border 214,212,210 and 208 (just passing son dish 204,202) and focuses on the reflection horizon 224.Will coil 102 be transported to the final user before, perhaps activating by the final user in the process of application program, optionally data are write recording layer 222.These data are used for the content of identification dish 102, are provided for copy protection or are used for the key of other authentication purpose etc.
If expectation, then recording layer 222 can be in addition or alternatively is configured to the number of times of indicating this dish 102 accessed.For example, when application routine can be configured to each accesses disk, a numeral " tally mark (tally mark) " is recorded in the zone 220.After the pre-determined number that allows visit (for example 5 times) afterwards, refuse further accessing operation.
Dyestuff that alternatively, can buy on the market, special preparation can use in recording layer 222.This dyestuff can deterioration when being exposed to the normal conversion light beam.The operative configuration of dish 102 is become to make to zone 220 execution trackings; After surpassing access times, dyestuff makes the tracking can't successful execution abundant deterioration, thereby has refused the further visit to coiling 102.
Therefore, though in a preferred embodiment, in top boundary surface 208, form wiggle pregroove, make zone 220 is being carried out the follow-up write operation phase and asked and can follow the trail of by register system (DVD-R etc.), and in alternative embodiment, in top boundary surface 208, form actual pit and cam pattern, so that the available data set is offered this zone, and this data acquisition inaccessible that after repeating dye coating 222 exposed, becomes after this.
Fig. 7 provides the embodiment of the DVD-5 that coils 102 alternative.Similar shown in embodiment among Fig. 7 and Fig. 6, but dish authentication region 220 is adjacent with the bottom boundaries 210 of last son dish 202, rather than as adjacent with top boundary 208 among Fig. 6.Therefore, in the present embodiment, normal recordings layer 218 and authentication region 220 all are arranged in the synthetic substrate of dish 102, though they are on the different surfaces of differing heights.Should be appreciated that this embedded technology can be suitable for other embodiment hereinafter described similarly.
Fig. 8 shows dish 102, and this dish 102 has single face, the double-layer structure according to DVD-9 form (capacity with 8.5G) generally.In Fig. 8, identical label is used for similar parts.Dish 102 among Fig. 8 is included in down the semi-reflective layer 226 on the border 212 of son dish 204 and coils reflection horizon 228 on 202 the border 210 at last son.As previously mentioned, from following Visitor Logs layer 226,228 and authentication region 220.
Fig. 9 shows the dish that has according to the form of DVD-10 (9.4G), and this dish is the two-layer dish in two-sided, as to have embedding reflection horizon 230,232.This dish must be able to overturn usually to allow reflection horizon 230, visit top.When as shown in Figure 9 to coiling 102 when carrying out orientation, addressable reflection horizon 232 and authentication region 220 down.
Figure 10 example illustrates the formative dish 102 according to DVD-18 (17.1G), and described dish 102 is four layers of dish of two-sided, as to have embedding reflection horizon 234,236 and the semi-reflective layer 238,240 that embeds.Notice that commutating optical beam passed several internal edges interlayers before access registrar zone 220, visit is then carried out as mentioned above.
Formative dish 102 is not limited to this according to various DVD forms though Fig. 6-10 has explained.More suitably, dish 102 can adopt any existing or following form of developing.For example, Figure 11 illustration placing 102 is as the traditional C D (0.7G) with layer of polycarbonate (son dish) 242, and this layer of polycarbonate 242 has border 244,246 and the reflective metals layer 248 on border 246.As shown in the figure, the protective seam 250 with upper substrate border 252 is formed on the son dish 242, and authentication region 220 is formed on the protective seam 250.As mentioned above, all be from following Visitor Logs layer 248 and authentication region 220.The CD of Figure 11 is particularly suitable for using the deterioration type dye in recording layer 222, and this deterioration type dye is because of being exposed to " normally " red CD data-switching laser deterioration.
Comprise pre-recorded disc though imagined the form of aforementioned exemplary, should be realized that this also non-essential restriction; Be more suitable for ground, can alternatively various intermediate record layers (as 218,226,228,230,232,234,236,238,240,248) be configured to recordablely as required, and layer 220 can be recordable or prerecorded.With layer 220 be rendered as initially " blank " but posting field and before dish 102 is finished, the operation of its record data is provided and result's (" prerecorded area ") identical when metallizing pit and boss structure cambium layer 220 subsequently; Thereby, it is considered as " prerecord " layer for following claims.
Describe as Figure 12, when incorporating authentication region into other conventional pre-recorded disc, method for optimizing is to provide matrix (stamper) on the relative face of the forming cavity 270 that uses when forming replicating disk.First matrix 272 is formed into the part of die cavity and the pattern of the recording layer that is provided for embedding on first of injection moulding substrate 274.Second matrix 276 is arranged on the opposite face of forming cavity 270, is used for forming wiggle pregroove (perhaps further feature) on second (instead) face of substrate 274.Carry out the residue processing and finish the dish that is duplicated.
From Figure 12, can notice, the structure of mould and coil 102 what comprise that partly the feature of general substrate 274 depends on the form of dish.For example, for the DVD-9 form of Fig. 8, substrate 274 can comprise son dish 202, because in Fig. 8, the upper surface 208 of last son dish 202 holds wiggle pregroove, and upward the lower surface 210 of son dish 202 holds a series of pits and the boss that is bonded with reflection horizon 226.In the case, in the process of finishing the dish replication processes, form synthetic substrate subsequently by descending son dish 204 to be attached to son dish 202.
In other cases, the substrate 274 of Figure 12 can be represented the compound body of the independent a plurality of middle layers that form and combine subsequently (as the upward son dish 202 and the sub-down dish 204 of the dish of the DVD-5 among Fig. 6 and Fig. 7).Therefore, can recognize, the molding of Figure 12 representative can be handled being considered as concurrent operations or sequential operation according to given demands of applications.
Figure 13 shows the dish 102 of another preferred embodiment according to the present invention, is called hybrid multilayer (HML:Hybrid Multi-Layer) DVD-5 dish at this.In Figure 13, two substrates 302,304 are provided and use the material (not shown) that is fit to that they are attached together.Described substrate 302 comprises a data storage layer 306 (being L0 in this case) and metal layer 310, and this data storage layer 306 comprises the pit and the boss 308 of a row impression.
Substrate 304 comprises another data storage layer 312 that is called L1, but it has one or more posting field (zone only is shown) in Figure 13.But should comprise wiggle pregroove 314, reflection horizon 316 and dye coating 318 by posting field.As previously mentioned, by the dye coating 318 that optionally exposes (using 314 pairs of heads of wiggle pregroove to position simultaneously) but data are write posting field, thereby provide " striped " of a series of various reflectivity that can not wipe to come as pit and boss during the retaking of a year or grade.
Data storage layer 306 has first group of addressable sectors or piece, and this addressable sectors or piece are as address curve 320 graphic depiction ground, along with radius increases progressively successively.Data storage layer 312 has second group of addressable sectors or piece, and described addressable sectors or piece continue to increase shown in curve 320.Therefore the address on the L0 begins at the lowest address place of the inside radius of L0 to increase and is increased to higher address at sign L0 to 322 places of the hop of L1.The location superlatively of L1 external radius is continued to be increased in the address from the hop of L1.Notice that in alternative embodiment, if desired, layer L0 and L1 can put upside down, make data storage layer 306 be arranged on the upper substrate 304 and data storage layer 312 is arranged on the infrabasal plate 302.
Figure 14 provides another alternative embodiment of HML DVD-5 dish 12, and this dish comprises the hop more than.More specifically, in the case, but first hop 324 be from pre-recorded layer L1 to recording layer L0, but and second hop 326 is to return pre-recorded layer L1 from recording layer L0.As previously mentioned, no matter be what layer, the address is all along with radius increases continuously.
It is the another alternative embodiment of the CD 102 of representative that Figure 15 provides with HML DVD-9 dish.In the case, each L0 data storage layer 306 and L1 data storage layer 312 extend on all paths on the radius of dish 102 basically.As address curve 330 and 332 were described, the address increased on layer L0, jumps to a layer L1 at hop 328 places, and increased to returning on layer L1, and making can be seamlessly together with recorded data in the pre-recorded data reading layer 1 on the layer 1.
Can recognize that traditional readback devices generally is not based on absolute thickness or depth of focus and accumulates on the independent information layer, because aspect the surface flatness of CD and may have very large variation aspect the fabrication tolerance of the thickness of substrate own.On the contrary, readback devices is determined current which layer that is just reading multilayer disc by the addressing content, and promptly some addresses are only on one deck, and other addresses are only on the second layer.Therefore readback devices thinks that when it read given address, it was on the certain layer.
Therefore, the unique property of HML dish 102 described here is that two combination layers will comprise a group address that belongs to single Information Level usually.The part of the address in this group will be comprised in the pre-recorded information on one deck, and the part in these addresses is comprised in and can writes down or can override layer and go up (at record or override the back).Usually, this unique address scheme is easy to guarantee that the HML dish can read by the standard multilayer fetch equipment such as DVD video and DVD-ROM.
The advantage that HML is better than the conventional monolayers mixing pan comprises: but can use the standard manufacture system and method create the pre-recorded information layer and can write down or the rewrite information layer both, reduce manufacturing cost thus.
Use DVD-5 and DVD-9 as example though can understand, the HML technology can be used to comprise any dish structure existing and the following form of developing.Those skilled in the art can easily use prior art to produce dish according to this argumentation, but and can further easily use existing write device and readback devices that desired data is recorded posting field and the prerecorded and recordable content of retaking of a year or grade on the dish.Therefore, for this argumentation of complete understanding, need not to provide the figure and the further discussion that relate to these aspects of the present disclosure.
But the DVD-5 example of Figure 13 and Figure 14 is used the prograde orbit path (PTP) of addressing in each prerecord and posting field.That is, read direction (from ID to OD) is identical for two zones.The example of the DVD-9 of Figure 15 adopts opposite track path (OTP) addressing, wherein reads the data from pre-recorded layer 0 from ID to OD, and then with (OD is to ID) in the other direction but the data posting field in the reading layer 1.Therefore, can use any different read direction, comprise its middle level " snakelike (serpentine) " dish structure that " back and forth " advances between various layers according to given demands of applications.
Be additionally noted that DVD-9 has the recorded data zone in the layer 1 of the pre-recorded data " top " of layer 0, the semi-reflective layer that makes the convert light pick-up be passed in the layer 0 focuses on so that this zone in the layer 1 is read.Therefore, though some embodiment in layer 0, leave " gap " but, be not limited to shown in Figure 15 with the posting field in the reading layer 1 (perhaps vice versa).
Aforementioned various embodiment provides the processing power of remarkable dirigibility and reinforcement for the CD manufacturing.By example, wanting to make the content supplier that a large amount of CDs issue can be such as utilizing various embodiment according to following preferred steps.
At first, content supplier can be provided to the substrate of content-data and a large amount of special configuration the copying equipment that dish manufacturing and/or copy services are provided.Content-data can be transmitted (such as passing through the Internet) via electronics or is provided by the content-data on one or more data storage medium of physical transfer.The substrate of special configuration can transport or make elsewhere and be transported to copying equipment with data storage medium according to the indication of content supplier.
