Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent overwriting by forming data recording area so that it has smaller absorption of laser light than an area not recorded and does not change with laser light, and constituting the data recording area by changing the optical state of the film into a irreversible state. CONSTITUTION:The recording state 21 is formed with laser light of power Pw21 and the recording state 22 is formed with laser light of power Pw22. By this method, in the state 21 in the data recording area, reflectance is significantly improved and light absorption is reduced. If this area of the state 21 is irradiated with recording laser light of power Pw22, no change occurs because this area has high reflectance and small absorption of light. The state 22 in the recording area is in an optically irreversible state, which shows no change even if it is irradiated with laser light of power Pw22. Thereby, new data can not be written in the state 21, 22 already recorded, and thus overwriting can be prevented.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an optical recording medium, and more particularly to a write-once optical recording medium that effectively prevents double writing.

Recording and reproduction of optical recording media, especially optical discs, is controlled by a drive system, and prevention of double writing on optical recording media is also performed by software. Since the material of write-once optical recording media has good stability and is suitable for long-term storage of data, studies are underway to prevent the above-mentioned double writing.

By the way, the above-mentioned double writing in such an optical recording medium makes it impossible to read the information (data), resulting in extremely large loss of information, and must be avoided at all costs. Therefore, various methods for preventing double writing and improvements to optical recording media are being studied at various places (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 7518/1983). However, at present, the reality is that double-writing prevention using a drive system complicates control and causes inconveniences such as lengthening operation time. Another drawback is that it cannot deal with malfunctions caused by drive system failures.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The optical recording medium (write-once optical recording medium) of the present invention has a data recording portion in a state in which (a) the absorption of laser light for recording and reproduction is smaller than that of the data-unrecorded portion; and (b) formed by optical changes in the state of irreversible deformation of the film, such as holes and bubbles,
In addition, the above-mentioned state (a) is characterized in that it does not change with respect to the recording laser beam.

Incidentally, the inventors of the present invention have conducted a number of studies in order to achieve the above objectives, and have found that if the data recording section is formed to have the properties (a) and (b) above, the above (a) will be achieved. In the state (b) (L, D, low light absorption state), a phase change occurs and light absorption decreases even if a new recording laser beam is irradiated, so double writing may occur. I confirmed that it wasn't. The fact that double writing cannot be completed also applies to the state (b) above (state of irreversible deformation of the membrane). The present invention has been made based on these findings.

Now, in the optical recording medium according to the present invention, at the initial stage, data is recorded by irradiating the data unrecorded area 23 with a recording laser beam to form two states 21 and 22 having different optical properties. Let's do it. These two states 21.2
The difference in the optical properties between the two can be detected by irradiation with a reproduction laser beam that is weaker than that used during recording. Forming two different recording states 21 and 22 in the data unrecorded area 23 is performed by changing the output of the recording laser beam. FIG. 2 shows means for forming this recording state 21,22.

In any case, even if double writing is performed in the data recording sections 21 and 22, the second data will not be formed (recorded), and as a result, double writing will not be possible.
