  • High-density optical recording media and method for making same
    Patent number: 7986611
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a high-density optical storage medium which comprises a substrate structure having a thickness of 1.0 mm or more and including one or more information layers, a high-density information layer bonded via an adhesive spacer layer to the substrate structure, and a cover layer over the high-density information layer. The high-density information layer can be formed by transferring a reflective film to the substrate structure from a substrate formed of a material (such as polymethyl methacrylate) that does not bond well with the reflective film.

  • Method for forming light-transmitting cover layer for optical recording medium
    Patent number: 7910191
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical recording medium includes forming a light-transmitting cover layer over an information layer by depositing a predetermined volume of a liquid resin on the information layer. The method may further include forming a disc rib over an outer periphery of the information bearing side of the substrate, to stop flow of the deposited resin beyond the outer disc periphery. An optical recording medium formed through such a method includes a disc rib delimiting an outer diameter of the light-transmitting cover layer.
