Description

本発明は、光情報記録媒体に関するもので、特に記録層に有機色素を用いたブルーレイディスク等の、より高い記録密度を有する光情報記録媒体に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an optical information recording medium, and more particularly to an optical information recording medium having a higher recording density, such as a Blu-ray disc using an organic dye in a recording layer.

情報記録媒体として、光ディスク等の光情報記録媒体が普及してきている。このような光情報記録媒体としては、追記型CD(CD−R)のような、厚さ1.2mm、直径120mmまたは80mmの光透過性の樹脂基板上に反射層、記録層を順次形成したものがある。近年、さらに高い情報記録密度が要求されてきている。そこで、レーザ波長を短く且つ開口数(NA:numerical aperture)の大きな対物レンズを使用する方式が考えられ、追記型DVD(DVD±R)のような光情報記録媒体が実現されている。このDVD±Rは、短波長化と高NA化によるディスクの傾き角度(チルト)の許容値を大きくするために、厚さ0.6mmの光透過性の樹脂基板を2枚貼り合せ、この基板間に反射層及び記録層を挟んだ構造を有している。   As information recording media, optical information recording media such as optical discs have become widespread. As such an optical information recording medium, a reflective layer and a recording layer are sequentially formed on a light-transmitting resin substrate having a thickness of 1.2 mm and a diameter of 120 mm or 80 mm, such as a recordable CD (CD-R). There is something. In recent years, higher information recording density has been demanded. Therefore, a method using an objective lens having a short laser wavelength and a large numerical aperture (NA) is conceivable, and an optical information recording medium such as a write-once DVD (DVD ± R) is realized. This DVD ± R is bonded to two optically transmissive resin substrates having a thickness of 0.6 mm in order to increase the allowable value of the tilt angle (tilt) of the disc by shortening the wavelength and increasing the NA. The reflective layer and the recording layer are sandwiched between them.

しかし、近年では高精細な映像データを記録するために、さらに高い情報記録密度が要求されてきている。そこで、追記型ブルーレイディスク(BD−R)のように、厚さ1.1mmの樹脂基板の光入射面側に反射層及び記録層が形成され、この反射層及び記録層が形成された面上に厚さ0.1mmの光透過性のカバー層が設けられた構造の光情報記録媒体が実現されている。   However, in recent years, a higher information recording density has been required in order to record high-definition video data. Therefore, like a recordable Blu-ray disc (BD-R), a reflective layer and a recording layer are formed on the light incident surface side of a resin substrate having a thickness of 1.1 mm, and the surface on which the reflective layer and the recording layer are formed. An optical information recording medium having a structure in which a light-transmitting cover layer having a thickness of 0.1 mm is provided is realized.

このような光情報記録媒体は、特開2003−45079号公報または特開2003−36562号公報に示されているように、一方の面に案内溝(プリグルーブ)が形成された厚さ1.1mmの樹脂基板上に反射層、記録層が順次形成され、その上に記録層の保護のために光透過性の無機材料で構成された保護層が設けられ、その上に厚さ0.1mmの光透過性の樹脂製のカバー層が設けられ、CD−RやDVD±Rと同等の直径及び厚さに形成されているものである。このような光記録媒体の記録層は、アゾ系色素やシアニン系色素等の色素を含む有機物質や、Si、Cu、Sb、Te、Ge等の無機物質で構成され、記録用レーザ光の照射によってピットを形成することによってデータが記録される。 Such an optical information recording medium has a thickness of 1. with a guide groove (pre-groove) formed on one surface as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-45079 or Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-36562. A reflective layer and a recording layer are sequentially formed on a 1 mm resin substrate, and a protective layer made of a light-transmitting inorganic material is provided thereon to protect the recording layer, and a thickness of 0.1 mm is formed thereon. A light-transmitting resin cover layer is provided and is formed to have the same diameter and thickness as CD-R and DVD ± R. The recording layer of such an optical recording medium is composed of an organic substance containing a dye such as an azo dye or a cyanine dye, or an inorganic substance such as Si, Cu, Sb, Te, or Ge, and is irradiated with a recording laser beam. Data is recorded by forming pits.

有機色素を用いた記録層の場合、記録用レーザ光を照射すると、図2または図3に示すように、有機色素が分解されてピットPTが形成される。この分解時に有機色素が膨張を起こす。また、この色素の膨張とともに、分解に伴って発熱することがあった。この色素の膨張と発熱によって保護層6が変形する。この保護層6の変形によって保護層6と光透過層7との間に応力が発生する。このように応力が発生している光ディスクを例えば高温多湿の環境下に晒しておくと、図2に示す保護層6と光透過層7との間、あるいは図3に示す保護層6と記録層5との間に剥離DLが生じることがあった。 In the case of a recording layer using an organic dye, when the recording laser light is irradiated, the organic dye is decomposed to form pits PT as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. The organic dye expands during this decomposition. In addition, with the expansion of the dye, heat may be generated with decomposition. The protective layer 6 is deformed by the expansion and heat generation of the dye. Due to the deformation of the protective layer 6, a stress is generated between the protective layer 6 and the light transmission layer 7. When the optical disk in which stress is generated in this way is exposed to, for example, a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, the protective layer 6 and the light transmission layer 7 shown in FIG. 2 or the protective layer 6 and the recording layer shown in FIG. In some cases, peeling DL occurs between the two.

本発明は、有機色素を用いた記録層を有する光記録媒体において、有機色素の分解に伴う膨張による保護層の変形及び剥離を防止することを目的とするものである。 An object of the present invention is to prevent deformation and peeling of a protective layer due to expansion accompanying decomposition of an organic dye in an optical recording medium having a recording layer using an organic dye.

本発明では、一方の面に螺旋状の案内溝を有する基板と、前記基板の一方の面上に形成された反射層と、前記反射層上に形成された記録層と、前記記録層上に形成された保護層と、前記保護層上に形成された光透過層と、を有する光情報記録媒体において、前記記録層は有機色素を含んでおり、前記有機色素は分解するときの熱量が10cal/g以下である光情報記録媒体を提案する。   In the present invention, a substrate having a spiral guide groove on one surface, a reflective layer formed on one surface of the substrate, a recording layer formed on the reflective layer, and on the recording layer In an optical information recording medium having a formed protective layer and a light transmission layer formed on the protective layer, the recording layer contains an organic dye, and the amount of heat when the organic dye decomposes is 10 cal. An optical information recording medium of less than / g is proposed.

保護層と光透過層との間の剥離は、有機色素の分解するときの発熱を小さくして保護層の変形を抑制することによって防止することができる。発明者らが鋭意検討した結果、分解するときの熱量が10cal/g以下の有機色素を用いると、保護層の変形が剥離を起こさせるレベルに至らないことを見出した。   Peeling between the protective layer and the light transmission layer can be prevented by reducing heat generation when the organic dye is decomposed and suppressing deformation of the protective layer. As a result of intensive studies by the inventors, it was found that when an organic dye having a calorific value of 10 cal / g or less during decomposition is used, the deformation of the protective layer does not reach a level at which peeling occurs.

なお、この分解時の熱量は、マイナスの熱量すなわち吸熱の場合も含む。有機色素の中には分解時の反応が吸熱反応であるものもある。分解時の反応が吸熱反応である有機色素を用いれば、発熱がないので、保護層の変形をより効果的に抑制できる。   The amount of heat at the time of decomposition includes a negative amount of heat, that is, an endothermic case. Some organic dyes have an endothermic reaction during decomposition. If an organic dye whose endothermic reaction is an endothermic reaction is used, since there is no heat generation, the deformation of the protective layer can be more effectively suppressed.

また、分解するときの熱量が10cal/g以下の有機色素を含む記録層を、トラックピッチ0.32μmで並んでおり、反射層が形成された状態における溝幅が150nm〜190nm、溝深さが32nm〜42nmである案内溝上に形成すると好ましい。このようなサイズの案内溝は、BD−Rに好適なものである。 In addition, recording layers containing organic dyes whose calorie when decomposing are 10 cal / g or less are arranged with a track pitch of 0.32 μm, the groove width is 150 nm to 190 nm, and the groove depth is in the state where the reflective layer is formed. It is preferable to form on the guide groove which is 32 nm to 42 nm. Such a size guide groove is suitable for BD-R.

本発明によれば、有機色素を用いた記録層を有する光記録媒体において、記録時の色素の分解時の発熱を抑制することができるので、保護層の変形、保護層と光透過層との剥離及び保護層と記録層との剥離を防止することができる。 According to the present invention, in an optical recording medium having a recording layer using an organic dye, heat generation during the decomposition of the dye during recording can be suppressed, so that the deformation of the protective layer, the protection layer and the light transmission layer Peeling and peeling between the protective layer and the recording layer can be prevented.

本発明の光情報記録媒体に係る第一の実施形態について、図面に基づいて以下に説明する。図1に示す光情報記録媒体1は、中心部分に貫通孔(図示せず)を有しかつ一方の面側に螺旋状に形成された案内溝3を有する円板状の基板2と、前記基板2の前記案内溝3上に形成された反射層と4、前記反射層4上に形成されかつ色素を含む有機物質で構成された記録層5と、前記記録層5上に設けられた保護層6と、前記保護層6上に形成された光透過層6と、を有する。   A first embodiment of the optical information recording medium of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. An optical information recording medium 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a disc-like substrate 2 having a through hole (not shown) in a central portion and a guide groove 3 formed in a spiral shape on one surface side, A reflective layer 4 formed on the guide groove 3 of the substrate 2, a recording layer 5 formed on the reflective layer 4 and made of an organic material containing a dye, and a protection provided on the recording layer 5 A layer 6 and a light transmission layer 6 formed on the protective layer 6.

基板2は、厚みtが1.1mmを有する直径120mmの樹脂製の基板である。この基板2には、従来の光情報記録媒体の基板材料として用いられている各種の材料を任意に選択して使用することができる。具体的には、ポリカーボネート、ポリメチルメタクリレート等のアクリル樹脂、ポリ塩化ビニル、塩化ビニル共重合体等の塩化ビニル系樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、アモルファスポリオレフィン、ポリエステル樹脂、アルミニウム等の金属、ガラス等を挙げることができ、必要によりこれらを組み合わせまたは混合する等の方法で併用してもよい。上記材料の中では、成型性、耐湿性、寸法安定性及び低価格等の点から熱可塑性樹脂が好ましく、ポリカーボネートが特に好ましい。このような基板2は、射出成形によって形成される。このとき、金型内にスタンパがセットされており、これによって基板2に螺旋状の案内溝3が形成される。この案内溝3は0.32μmのピッチで形成されており、ピットはこの案内溝3内に形成される。 The substrate 2 is a resin-made substrate having a thickness t of 1.1 mm and a diameter of 120 mm. For this substrate 2, various materials used as substrate materials for conventional optical information recording media can be arbitrarily selected and used. Specific examples include acrylic resins such as polycarbonate and polymethyl methacrylate, vinyl chloride resins such as polyvinyl chloride and vinyl chloride copolymers, metals such as epoxy resins, amorphous polyolefins, polyester resins, and aluminum, and glass. If necessary, these may be used in combination or by a method such as mixing. Among the above materials, a thermoplastic resin is preferable from the viewpoint of moldability, moisture resistance, dimensional stability, and low price, and polycarbonate is particularly preferable. Such a substrate 2 is formed by injection molding. At this time, a stamper is set in the mold, whereby a spiral guide groove 3 is formed in the substrate 2. The guide grooves 3 are formed with a pitch of 0.32 μm, and pits are formed in the guide grooves 3.

この案内溝3は、溝幅W1が160nm〜200nm、溝深さD1が32nm〜42nmが好ましい。ここで溝幅W1は、図1に示すように、溝深さD1の半分の深さの位置の幅すなわち半値幅で測定される。この案内溝3の上に反射層4が形成される。   The guide groove 3 preferably has a groove width W1 of 160 nm to 200 nm and a groove depth D1 of 32 nm to 42 nm. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the groove width W <b> 1 is measured by a width at a half depth of the groove depth D <b> 1, that is, a half width. A reflective layer 4 is formed on the guide groove 3.

反射層4は、Ag合金やAl合金等の反射率の高い金属薄膜で形成されており、スパッタリング等によって形成される。反射層4の厚さは55nm〜65nmが好ましい。なお、反射層4は案内溝3内にも形成されるため、案内溝の寸法は反射層の厚さ分変化する。反射層4を形成した後の案内溝3’は、溝幅W2が150nm〜190nm、溝深さD2が32nm〜42nmが好ましい。 The reflective layer 4 is formed of a metal thin film having high reflectivity such as Ag alloy or Al alloy, and is formed by sputtering or the like. The thickness of the reflective layer 4 is preferably 55 nm to 65 nm. In addition, since the reflective layer 4 is also formed in the guide groove 3, the dimension of the guide groove changes by the thickness of the reflective layer. The guide groove 3 'after forming the reflective layer 4 preferably has a groove width W2 of 150 nm to 190 nm and a groove depth D2 of 32 nm to 42 nm.

記録層5は、分解するときの熱量が10cal/g以下の有機色素を含んでいる。色素が分解するときの熱量は次のようにして求めたものとする。まず精密天秤で秤量した1.29mgの色素をアルミパンに封入しサンプルとする。同様にアルミナ(Al)1.41mgを封入したアルミパンをリファレンスとする。窒素ガスを毎分100ml流した雰囲気下、毎分10℃の昇温速度でサンプルおよびリファレンスを加熱し、示差走査熱量計(マックサイエンス社製DSC-3200S)を用いて測定を行う。なお、サンプルに使用する色素は、溶媒に溶かす前の粉末を用いても良いし、記録層5から溶剤抽出によって分離したものを用いても良い。また、記録層から分離した色素の量が少ない時には、同じ色素の粉末を別途用意して混合して用いても良い。また、同じ色素でなくても、分解するときの熱量が10cal/g以下で該熱量が特定された別の色素と混合したものを用いても、「分解するときの熱量が10cal/g以下」であるという推定が可能である。 The recording layer 5 contains an organic dye having a calorie of 10 cal / g or less when decomposed. The amount of heat when the pigment decomposes is determined as follows. First, 1.29 mg of pigment weighed with a precision balance is enclosed in an aluminum pan to make a sample. Similarly, an aluminum pan filled with 1.41 mg of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) is used as a reference. The sample and the reference are heated at a heating rate of 10 ° C. per minute in an atmosphere of flowing 100 ml of nitrogen gas per minute, and measurement is performed using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC-3200S manufactured by Mac Science). Note that the dye used for the sample may be a powder before being dissolved in a solvent, or may be one separated from the recording layer 5 by solvent extraction. Further, when the amount of the dye separated from the recording layer is small, powders of the same dye may be separately prepared and mixed. In addition, even if the same pigment is used, the amount of heat when decomposing is 10 cal / g or less and mixed with another pigment whose amount of heat is specified, “the amount of heat when decomposing is 10 cal / g or less” Can be estimated.

記録層5に用いられる有機色素は、分解するときの熱量が10cal/g以下であるとともに、所定の波長例えばBD−Rでは405nmのレーザ光に対して最適な光吸収特性が得られるものが選ばれる。このような色素としては、図3に示す化学式で表される色素や、図4に示す化学式で表される色素があげられる。図3に示す化学式で表される色素は分解するときの熱量が8cal/gである。また、図4に示す化学式で表される色素は分解するときの熱量が−1cal/g、すなわち1cal/gの吸熱反応である。また、2種類以上の色素を混合したものでも良く、全体として分解するときの熱量が10cal/g以下であれば良い。この場合、例えばある種類の色素単独の分解するときの熱量が10cal/gを超えていても、他の種類の色素と混合することによって、混合物全体の分解するときの熱量が10cal/g以下になっていれば良い。記録層5はこれらの色素を例えばTFP(テトラフルオロプロパノール)溶液に溶かしたものをスピンコート法によって塗布して形成される。   The organic dye used for the recording layer 5 is selected so that the calorific value when decomposing is 10 cal / g or less, and an optimum light absorption characteristic is obtained for a laser beam having a wavelength of 405 nm at a predetermined wavelength, for example, BD-R. It is. Examples of such a dye include the dye represented by the chemical formula shown in FIG. 3 and the dye represented by the chemical formula shown in FIG. The dye represented by the chemical formula shown in FIG. 3 has a calorie of 8 cal / g when decomposed. Further, the dye represented by the chemical formula shown in FIG. 4 has an endothermic reaction with a calorific value of −1 cal / g, that is, 1 cal / g when decomposing. Moreover, what mixed 2 or more types of pigment | dyes may be sufficient, and the calorie | heat amount at the time of decomposing | disassembling as a whole should just be 10 cal / g or less. In this case, for example, even when the amount of heat generated when a certain type of pigment alone decomposes exceeds 10 cal / g, the amount of heat generated when the entire mixture is decomposed can be reduced to 10 cal / g or less by mixing with another type of pigment. It only has to be. The recording layer 5 is formed by applying these dyes dissolved in, for example, a TFP (tetrafluoropropanol) solution by a spin coating method.

保護層6は、光透過層7の成膜時における記録層5に含まれる色素の光透過層7への拡散や、光透過層7の形成用の硬化樹脂の溶剤等の記録層5への浸透などの混和現象を防止するためのものである。この保護層6を構成する材料は、酸化珪素とくに二酸化珪素や、酸化亜鉛、酸化セリウム、酸化イットリウム等の酸化物;硫化亜鉛、硫化イットリウムなどの硫化物;窒化珪素などの窒化物;炭化珪素;酸化物とイオウ化合物との混合物などが挙げられる。この保護層6はスパッタリング等の方法で形成される。 The protective layer 6 diffuses the dye contained in the recording layer 5 into the light transmitting layer 7 when the light transmitting layer 7 is formed, and the recording layer 5 such as a solvent of a cured resin for forming the light transmitting layer 7. This is to prevent mixing phenomena such as penetration. The material constituting the protective layer 6 is silicon oxide, particularly silicon dioxide, oxides such as zinc oxide, cerium oxide and yttrium oxide; sulfides such as zinc sulfide and yttrium sulfide; nitrides such as silicon nitride; silicon carbide; Examples thereof include a mixture of an oxide and a sulfur compound. The protective layer 6 is formed by a method such as sputtering.

保護層6は20nm程度の厚さで形成される。保護層6の変形量が保護層6の厚さ以上、ここでは20nm以上になると、保護層6と光透過層7との間に剥離を誘発するような応力が発生する。しかし、発明者らは、保護層6の変形量が保護層6の厚さの半分以下、ここでは10nm以下であれば剥離を誘発するような応力は発生しないことを見出した。記録層5含まれる有機色素の分解時の熱量を10cal/g以下にすることで、保護層6の変形量を、剥離を誘発するような応力が発生しない程度に抑制することができる。 The protective layer 6 is formed with a thickness of about 20 nm. When the deformation amount of the protective layer 6 is equal to or greater than the thickness of the protective layer 6, here 20 nm or greater, a stress that induces peeling occurs between the protective layer 6 and the light transmission layer 7. However, the inventors have found that when the amount of deformation of the protective layer 6 is less than half of the thickness of the protective layer 6, here 10 nm or less, stress that induces peeling does not occur. By setting the amount of heat at the time of decomposition of the organic dye contained in the recording layer 5 to 10 cal / g or less, the deformation amount of the protective layer 6 can be suppressed to such an extent that stress that induces peeling does not occur.

光透過層7は、光透過性の樹脂で形成されており、紫外線または放射線によって硬化する硬化性樹脂をスピンコート法等によって厚さ0.1mmに形成される。このカバー層6の光透過率は、硬化後の厚み0.1mmで、405nmの波長の光にて分光光度計で測定したときに70%以上好ましくは80%以上である。このカバー層6は、硬化後の25℃における弾性率が40MPa以上である硬化性樹脂で形成されている。ここで、25℃における弾性率は、ナノインデンテーション法(神戸製鋼技法/Vol.52 N0.2(Sep.2002)P74〜P77)によって測定される。なお、光透過層7は比較的柔らかく、傷が付きやすいので、光入射側の表面にアクリル系樹脂等で構成されたハードコート層(図示せず)を設けても良い。   The light transmissive layer 7 is formed of a light transmissive resin, and a curable resin that is cured by ultraviolet rays or radiation is formed to a thickness of 0.1 mm by a spin coat method or the like. The light transmittance of the cover layer 6 is not less than 70%, preferably not less than 80% when measured with a spectrophotometer with a light having a wavelength of 405 nm and a thickness of 0.1 mm after curing. This cover layer 6 is formed of a curable resin having an elastic modulus at 25 ° C. of 40 MPa or more after curing. Here, the elastic modulus at 25 ° C. is measured by a nanoindentation method (Kobe Steel Technique / Vol. 52 N0.2 (Sep. 2002) P74 to P77). Since the light transmission layer 7 is relatively soft and easily damaged, a hard coat layer (not shown) made of an acrylic resin or the like may be provided on the surface on the light incident side.

ここで、本発明の光情報記録媒体の効果について、以下の実施例に基づいて説明する。   Here, the effects of the optical information recording medium of the present invention will be described based on the following examples.

(実施例1)
中心部分に貫通孔を有し、かつトラックピッチ0.32μm、溝幅180nm、溝深さ32nmの案内溝を有する外径120mm、厚さ1.1mmの円板状のポリカーボネート製の基板を、射出成形によって作成した。この基板の案内溝が形成された面にAg合金をスパッタリングして60nmの厚さの反射層を形成した。その後図3に示す化学式で表される有機色素(分解熱量8cal/g)をTFP(テトラフルオロプロパノール)溶剤に溶かした色素溶液をスピンコート法により塗布し、80℃で30分間乾燥して記録層を形成した。
Example 1
A disc-shaped polycarbonate substrate having an outer diameter of 120 mm and a thickness of 1.1 mm having a through hole in the central portion and a guide groove having a track pitch of 0.32 μm, a groove width of 180 nm, and a groove depth of 32 nm is injected. Created by molding. A reflective layer having a thickness of 60 nm was formed by sputtering an Ag alloy on the surface of the substrate on which the guide grooves were formed. Thereafter, a dye solution in which an organic dye represented by the chemical formula shown in FIG. 3 (heat of decomposition: 8 cal / g) is dissolved in a TFP (tetrafluoropropanol) solvent is applied by spin coating, dried at 80 ° C. for 30 minutes, and then the recording layer Formed.

次に、ZnS−SiOで構成された透明な保護層を20nmの厚さになるようにスパッタリングで形成した。次に、硬化後の25℃における弾性率が1700MPaとなるUV硬化性樹脂をスピンコート法により塗布し、その後硬化させて0.1mmの厚みの光透過層を形成した。 Next, a transparent protective layer composed of ZnS—SiO 2 was formed by sputtering so as to have a thickness of 20 nm. Next, a UV curable resin having an elastic modulus at 25 ° C. of 1700 MPa after curing was applied by spin coating, and then cured to form a light transmissive layer having a thickness of 0.1 mm.

こうして得られた光情報記録媒体に、記録再生装置(パルステック工業(株)製 ODU−1000)を用いて、波長405nm、開口数(NA)0.85、記録速度19.68m/s、記録用レーザ光のパワー10mWでピットを記録した。その後80℃で湿度80%の環境下で100時間放置し、保護層と光透過層との剥離の発生の有無を観察した。その後、光透過層を記録層と保護層との界面で引き剥がし、保護層の変形量を原子間力顕微鏡(SII社製L−trace/SPI4000)を使用して測定した。   The optical information recording medium thus obtained was recorded using a recording / reproducing apparatus (ODU-1000 manufactured by Pulstec Industrial Co., Ltd.), wavelength 405 nm, numerical aperture (NA) 0.85, recording speed 19.68 m / s, and recording. The pits were recorded with a power of 10 mW for the laser beam for use. Thereafter, it was left for 100 hours in an environment of 80 ° C. and 80% humidity, and the presence or absence of peeling between the protective layer and the light transmitting layer was observed. Thereafter, the light transmitting layer was peeled off at the interface between the recording layer and the protective layer, and the deformation amount of the protective layer was measured using an atomic force microscope (L-trace / SPI4000 manufactured by SII).

実施例1の光情報記録媒体では、剥離の発生は見られなかった。また、保護層の変形量は9nmで、保護層の厚さの半分以下であった。   In the optical information recording medium of Example 1, no occurrence of peeling was observed. The deformation amount of the protective layer was 9 nm, which was less than half of the thickness of the protective layer.

(実施例2)
記録層に用いる有機色素を図4に示す化学式で表される有機色素(分解熱量−1cal/g)を用いた以外は、実施例1と同様にして光情報記録媒体を得た。
(Example 2)
An optical information recording medium was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the organic dye used in the recording layer was an organic dye represented by the chemical formula shown in FIG. 4 (heat of decomposition −1 cal / g).

こうして得られた試料の光情報記録媒体を、実施例1と同様にして、記録再生装置(パルステック工業(株)製 ODU−1000)を用いてピットを記録した。その後80℃で湿度80%の環境下で100時間放置し、保護層と光透過層との剥離の発生の有無を観察した。その後、光透過層を記録層と保護層との界面で引き剥がし、保護層の変形量を原子間力顕微鏡(SII社製L−trace/SPI4000)を使用して測定した。   The sample optical information recording medium thus obtained was recorded in the same manner as in Example 1 using a recording / reproducing apparatus (ODU-1000 manufactured by Pulstec Industrial Co., Ltd.). Thereafter, it was left for 100 hours in an environment of 80 ° C. and 80% humidity, and the presence or absence of peeling between the protective layer and the light transmitting layer was observed. Thereafter, the light transmitting layer was peeled off at the interface between the recording layer and the protective layer, and the deformation amount of the protective layer was measured using an atomic force microscope (L-trace / SPI4000 manufactured by SII).

実施例2の光情報記録媒体では、剥離の発生は見られなかった。また、保護層の変形量は6nmで、実施例1と比較してより保護層の変形を抑制することができた。 In the optical information recording medium of Example 2, no occurrence of peeling was observed. Further, the deformation amount of the protective layer was 6 nm, and the deformation of the protective layer could be further suppressed as compared with Example 1.

(実施例3)
記録層に用いる有機色素を図5に示す化学式で表される有機色素と図6に示す化学式で表される有機色素とを70:30で混合したもの(混合物の分解熱量8cal/g)を用いた以外は、実施例1と同様にして光情報記録媒体を得た。
(Example 3)
The organic dye used for the recording layer is a mixture of the organic dye represented by the chemical formula shown in FIG. 5 and the organic dye represented by the chemical formula shown in FIG. 6 at 70:30 (the heat of decomposition of the mixture is 8 cal / g). An optical information recording medium was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that.

実施例3の光情報記録媒体では、剥離の発生は見られなかった。また、保護層の変形量は7nmで、実施例1と比較してより保護層の変形を抑制することができた。 In the optical information recording medium of Example 3, no occurrence of peeling was observed. Further, the deformation amount of the protective layer was 7 nm, and the deformation of the protective layer could be further suppressed as compared with Example 1.

(比較例1)
記録層に用いる有機色素を図6に示す化学式で表される有機色素(分解熱量20cal/g)を用いた以外は、実施例1と同様にして光情報記録媒体を得た。
(Comparative Example 1)
An optical information recording medium was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the organic dye used in the recording layer was an organic dye represented by the chemical formula shown in FIG. 6 (heat of decomposition: 20 cal / g).

こうして得られた試料の光情報記録媒体を、実施例1と同様にして、記録再生装置(パルステック工業(株)製 ODU−1000)を用いてピットを記録した。その後80℃で湿度80%の環境下で100時間放置し、保護層と光透過層との剥離の発生の有無を観察した。その後、光透過層を記録層と保護層との界面で引き剥がし、保護層の変形量を原子間力顕微鏡(SII社製L−trace/SPI4000)を使用して測定した。   The sample optical information recording medium thus obtained was recorded in the same manner as in Example 1 using a recording / reproducing apparatus (ODU-1000 manufactured by Pulstec Industrial Co., Ltd.). Thereafter, it was left for 100 hours in an environment of 80 ° C. and 80% humidity, and the presence or absence of peeling between the protective layer and the light transmitting layer was observed. Thereafter, the light transmitting layer was peeled off at the interface between the recording layer and the protective layer, and the deformation amount of the protective layer was measured using an atomic force microscope (L-trace / SPI4000 manufactured by SII).

比較例1の光情報記録媒体では、剥離の発生が見られた。また、保護層の変形量は20nmで、保護層の厚さと同じであった。 In the optical information recording medium of Comparative Example 1, peeling was observed. The deformation amount of the protective layer was 20 nm, which was the same as the thickness of the protective layer.

(比較例2)
記録層に用いる有機色素を図7に示す化学式で表される有機色素(分解熱量30cal/g)を用いた以外は、実施例1と同様にして光情報記録媒体を得た。
(Comparative Example 2)
An optical information recording medium was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the organic dye used in the recording layer was an organic dye represented by the chemical formula shown in FIG. 7 (decomposition heat amount 30 cal / g).

こうして得られた試料の光情報記録媒体を、実施例1と同様にして、記録再生装置(パルステック工業(株)製 ODU−1000)を用いてピットを記録した。その後80℃で湿度80%の環境下で100時間放置し、保護層と光透過層との剥離の発生の有無を観察した。その後、光透過層を記録層と保護層との界面で引き剥がし、保護層の変形量を原子間力顕微鏡(SII社製L−trace/SPI4000)を使用して測定した。   The sample optical information recording medium thus obtained was recorded in the same manner as in Example 1 using a recording / reproducing apparatus (ODU-1000 manufactured by Pulstec Industrial Co., Ltd.). Thereafter, it was left for 100 hours in an environment of 80 ° C. and 80% humidity, and the presence or absence of peeling between the protective layer and the light transmitting layer was observed. Thereafter, the light transmitting layer was peeled off at the interface between the recording layer and the protective layer, and the deformation amount of the protective layer was measured using an atomic force microscope (L-trace / SPI4000 manufactured by SII).

比較例2の光情報記録媒体では、剥離の発生が見られた。また、保護層の変形量は35nmで、保護層の厚さよりも大幅に大きい値であった。 In the optical information recording medium of Comparative Example 2, peeling was observed. The deformation amount of the protective layer was 35 nm, which was a value significantly larger than the thickness of the protective layer.

以上の結果より、記録層に分解時の熱量が10cal/g以下の有機色素を用いた光情報記録媒体であれば、保護層の変形を抑制して、保護層と光透過層との剥離を防止することができることがわかった。   From the above results, if the recording layer is an optical information recording medium using an organic dye having a calorie at decomposition of 10 cal / g or less, the deformation of the protective layer is suppressed, and the protective layer and the light transmitting layer are separated. It was found that it can be prevented.
