  • Colored data storage media
    Patent number: 6944115
    Abstract: The colored data storage media comprises a substrate comprising colorant and plastic, wherein the substrate has a transmissivity of about 85% or less, at a readback laser wavelength, when traversing a 1.2 mm thick colored substrate (disk). Alternatively, the storage media comprises: a substrate comprising a fluorescent colorant and plastic, wherein the substrate has a fluorescent color emission wavelength which is not equal to the readback laser wavelength.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 19, 2001
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2005
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Curtis Cradic, Steven R. Peak, Connie J. Bland, Steven F. Hubbard
  • Colored data storage media
    Patent number: 6771578
    Abstract: One method for producing a data storage media, comprises: molding a material comprising plastic and a fluorescent material to form a substrate, and disposing a data layer on the substrate. The substrate has a transmissivity of about 85% or less at a readback laser wavelength when traversing a 1.2 mm thick colored substrate, and the has a fluorescent color emission wavelength which is not equal to the readback laser wavelength.
