  • Patent number: 8980530
    Abstract: An optical information recording medium 10 comprises a plurality of recording layers 14, and intermediate layers 15 each provided between the recording layers 14. Each of the recording layers 14 includes polymer binder and dye dispersed in the polymer binder, and the dye is subject to multi-photon absorption of a recording beam RB having a predetermined wavelength and to linear absorption not smaller than 1.5% per recording layer at the predetermined wavelength of the recording beam. When the dye is irradiated with the recording beam and generates heat by linear absorption and multi-photon absorption of the recoding beam RB, the polymer binder undergoes a change of shape by the generated heat, whereby an interface between the recording layer 14 and the intermediate layer undergoes a change of shape to record information.

  • Publication number: 20140153375
    Abstract: An optical information recording medium comprises recording layers which include a polymer binder and a dye dispersed in the polymer binder or include a polymer to which a dye is bonded, and each recording layer has a refractive index unchangeable under irradiation with a recording beam, with first and second interfaces being defined between the recording layer and two intermediate layers adjacent thereto. Irradiation of a region of the recording layer adjacent to the first interface or a region of the recording layer adjacent to the second interface with the recording beam causes the dye to absorb the recording beam and generate heat which in turn deforms the polymer in the recording layer, forming a protrusive shape protruding into an intermediate layer at the first or second interface whereby information is recordable in separate information layers at both of the first and the second interfaces.

  • Patent number: 8730703
    Abstract: Efficient reduction in power consumption is achieved by combinational implementation of a power cutoff circuit technique using power supply switch control and a DVFS technique for low power consumption. A power supply switch section fed with power supply voltage, a circuit block in which a power cutoff is performed by the power supply switch section, and a level shifter are formed in a DEEP-NWELL region formed over a semiconductor substrate. Another power supply switch section fed with another power supply voltage, a circuit block in which a power cutoff is performed by the power supply switch section, and a level shifter are formed in another DEEP-NWELL region formed over the semiconductor substrate. In this arrangement, there arises no possibility of short-circuiting between different power supplies via each DEEP-NWELL region formed over the semiconductor substrate.
