Definitions
- This invention relates to the shaping of plastic compact discs (CD's) by injection molding for storing data in an optical medium.
- CD's plastic compact discs
- This invention relates to the provision of super-density compact discs where only one surface is required for the storage of information.
- Plastic discs having a pit optical track structure are well known as compact discs.
- Double sided discs in which information is recorded on two sides of such a structure formed by binding two compact discs and apparatus for playing such discs is also well known, as in U.S. patents 4,903,140; 4,939,011/ 5,097,465; 4,811,324.
- compact disc as used in thi ⁇ application includes any disc shaped recorded medium having pits and lands forming an optical track structure on a data information recording planar surface. Thus it includes such discs where the information stored as pits and lands is digital information or analog information.
- Digital information may be encoded into the pits and lands as pits of quantized lengths interpretable as a stream of digital data, wherein the length of each pit or land segment may be, for example, related to the number of l's or O's in a data stream.
- An example of such a system is the compact disc ("CD" ⁇ audio or video disc.
- Analog information may be encoded into the pits and lands as pit lengths that may vary over a continuum of values, wherein the length of each pit or land segment may be, for example, related to a voltage level in a desired output.
- An example of such a system is the laser disc video recording system.
- the present invention is a novel compact disc.
- Such discs are known to be plastic discs having pits and lands representing optically recorded data on an internal surface in which the internal surface carries a light reflective film and is overcoated by a transparent layer, that exposes a flat surface.
- two such discs are bonded to each other back to back. Where there is only the need for one surface to carry data the second disc is blank.
- the present invention provides a way to economize on the steps required for the manufacture of such discs .
- the d sc has two thickness regions.
- the first thickness region is a central cylindrical region.
- the second thickness region is the remaining annular region of the disc and has only a fraction of the thickness of said first region, said fraction being less than 3/4 and more than 1/4.
- the second annular region is overcoated with materials of different composition.
- Figure 1 depicts a prior art system employing a thin compact disc bonded to a blank compact disc to result in a disc that is usable in a double sided system even though all the data is present on only one side thereof.
- Figure 2 depicts a preferred embodiment of the present invention using a compact disc the plastic portion of which has substantial variations in thickness.
- the invention comprises a plastic disc having pits and lands representing optically recorded data on an internal surface thereof, the internal surface having a light reflective film thereon, and the surface being overcoated by a transparent layer exposing a flat surface.
- the disc has first and second thickness regions.
- the first thickness region is a central cylindrical region of a first predetermined thickness.
- the second thickness region comprises the remaining annular region of the disc and has a fraction of the thickness of said first region, the fraction being less than 3/4 and more than 1/4.
- the annular region is then overcoated with materials of different composition.
