Problems solved by technology

In addition, for the method of preparing optical discs, since it is necessary to select a high-molecular-weight compound with low hygroscopicity to obtain long-term storage stability, there is a disadvantage in that selecting a solvent that dissolves the high-molecular-weight compound and does not attack the matrix involves difficulties resulting in insufficient reproducibility
[0014] Furthermore, in Japanese Patent No. 3054770, a method for causing a change in the crystal state involving a reversible change in molecular orientation is described for crystals made of organic thin films containing optical anisotropy such as fatty acids, fatty acid derivatives, benzoic acid derivatives or A recording layer composed of n-alkane to detect the difference in polarization characteristics; however, the crystallinity of those like organic thin films is not uniform, so the amount of signal noise tends to increase
In addition, there is a problem that a recording and reproducing apparatus requires an optical system similar to the case of a magneto-optical disc

Embodiment approach 1

[0425] This embodiment is an example of a DVD using blue laser light with a wavelength λ=405 nm.

[0426] A polycarbonate substrate having a thickness of 0.6 mm and an outer diameter of 120 nm having grooves in the shape of a pitch of 0.6 μm, a groove depth of 50 nm and a groove width of 0.28 μm has been produced by an injection molding method from a punch press. The film structure of this embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. 1 . The porphyrazine dye represented by the general formula (A) shown in the recording layer 2 has been evaporated by vacuum deposited onto the grooves on the substrate so that the film thickness becomes 60 nm. The refractive index and absorption coefficient of the recording layer 2 at 450 nm were n=1.8 and k=0.05, respectively. Then, an optical recording medium with the same shape as DVD was prepared by depositing a 100 nm thick silver reflective layer 3 onto the recording layer by means of sputtering, followed by UV curing by spin coating [SD...

Embodiment approach 2

[0432] This embodiment is also an example of a DVD using blue laser light of wavelength λ=405nm.

[0433] The same substrate, organic dye recording film, silver reflective film and protective film were used. The film structure of this example is shown in FIG. 2 . The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that SiO with a film thickness of 30 nm is deposited between the substrate 1 and the recording film 3 and between the recording film 3 and the reflective film 5 by sputtering. 2 They are respectively used as the transparent protective layer 5 and the transparent protective layer 6. The initial reflectance of the disk is 12%, which is actually equivalent to the calculated value.

[0434] A simple repetitive signal corresponding to a pit length of 0.5 µm was recorded under the same conditions as in Embodiment 1.

[0435] When the recorded portion was reproduced at a reproduction power of 0.5 mW, it was confirmed that the C / N ratio = 59 dB. Fig. 9 shows the R...

Embodiment approach 3

[0438] This embodiment is an example of a DVR (an optical disk in which recording and reproduction are performed through a light-transmitting layer with a thickness of 10 to 177 μm) using blue laser light with a wavelength of λ=405 nm.

[0439] An example is given of the film structure in FIG. 3 relating to a recording medium capable of recording and reproducing favorably in an optical system having a wavelength of 405 nm and a wavelength of NA=0.85. Note here that by forming guide grooves with a track pitch of 0.64 [mu]m in the polycarbonate substrate 1 and setting the width of the guide grooves to 50%, recording can be performed on both the edge and the groove. In addition, the depth of each groove was 40 nm. Deposit a silver alloy reflective film with a thickness of 12nm on it by sputtering, and porphyrazine dye was used to form organic dye thin films by vacuum evaporation method 3.

Abstract

A rewritable optical information recording medium including a recording layer composed of an organic dye film is provided, in which recording and erasing information can be performed reversibly by laser light irradiation. A rewritable optical information recording medium including at least one organic dye film which is substantially made of only at least one kind of organic dye compounds as a recording film is provided. The recording and erasure of information are performed by a reversible physical change of the organic dye film substance caused by laser light irradiation. Specifically, data recording is performed by a physical change locally caused by the irradiation of recording laser light, data reproduction is performed by detecting change in intensity of returned light of reproducing laser light having less power than the recording laser light, and data erasure is performed by applying at least once continuous light or pulse light having laser power more than the reproducing laser light and less than the recording laser light. The physical change is a change in shape.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a new rewritable optical information recording medium comprising a recording layer composed of an organic dye thin film, in which recording and erasing of information can be reversibly performed by irradiating laser light, and further relates to recording and recording in which the medium is used Reproducing method and recording and reproducing apparatus. Background technique [0002] Recently, as optical recording media widely used in the market, there are write-once organic optical discs (so-called CD-R, DVD-R, etc.), rewritable phase-change optical discs (so-called CD-RW, DVD-RW, etc.), And another permanent magnetic disc and so on. [0003] For CD-RW and DVD-RW, phase-change optical recording media are composed of chalcogen-containing substances such as Te-Ge-Sb alloys or Ag-In-Sb-Te alloys; however, these alloys are toxic. In addition, it is required to be made of sulfide, oxide or nitride such as ZnS, ZnS-SiO 2...
