Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the information recording medium with a case thin by forming a rear substrate of an information recording medium with a light shield material and containing the medium into a case covering the medium except the rear substrate. CONSTITUTION:A substrate 11 with a recording layer 12 formed thereto and a rear substrate 14 is fixed so that the layer 12 is directed inward in the information recording medium 1, which is contained in a case 2 covering the medium 1 except the substrate 14. Then the substrate 14 is made of a light shield material and acts like part of the case 2, the thickness of the case 2 is made nearly equal to the thickness of the medium 1 thereby making the profile of the information recording medium with a case thin.

To write information to such a disc, a Rede-sensitive layer (
A focused radar beam is scanned on the surface of the recording layer (recording layer), and pits are completely formed only on the surface irradiated with the radar beam, and these pits are formed in the form of a spiral or circular track. The Rade-sensitive layer (recording layer) can absorb Rade energy to form optically detectable pits. For example, in the heat mode recording method, the Lehde-sensitive layer (recording layer) absorbs all of the thermal energy and can form all the small pits at that location by evaporation or melting. In another heat mode recording method, by absorbing the irradiated Radhe energy, it is possible to form all the pits having an optically detectable density difference at that location.

In such optical discs, in order to protect the recording layer from scratches, dust, etc., two disk-shaped substrates each having a recording layer on at least one side are pasted together with the recording layer facing inside. It has a structure. In addition, in the case of an optical disc in which information is recorded and reproduced by forming all the pits as mentioned above, generally the space between the two disc-shaped substrates is formed completely so as not to reduce the recording sensitivity of the recording layer. It has a so-called hollow structure in which the sheets are pasted together.
