  • Patent number: 7962927
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical disc for use as a recording medium in an optical disc drive, which has a transparent protection film (120) formed on a recording layer on one plane of the disc substrate (110) and a printing label film 130 being of approximately the same film quality and film structure as the transparent protection film (120) formed on the other plane thereof. The printing label film (130) is a synthetic resin film made mainly of polycarbonate and formed on the disc substrate by screen printing, etc. Thus, the optical disc has the same film quality and film structure on the respective one and the other planes, which prevents occurrence of skew caused by the deformation due to the asymmetry of the structure along the thickness direction of the optical disc. The optical disc has a function to present contents of information recorded therein with the printing label film provided on the other plane of the disc substrate.

  • Publication number: 20060007844
    Abstract: An optical disc comprising a substrate and a recording layer and a light-transmitting layer, laid on a substrate one upon the other in the order mentioned. A light beam is applied to the recording layer through the light-transmitting layer, to record and/or reproduce data on the disc. The light-transmitting layer is composed of at least two material layers laid one on the other and having different refractive indices. The disc is designed to set the spherical aberration caused by an objective lens that focuses the light beam used to record and/or reproduce data, at a value close to a minimum.
