Abstract A laser recording medium is disclosed. The medium is comprised of a transparent base having thereon a laser readable-recordable material layer. On the surface opposite the laser readable-recordable layer is provided an inorganic material film which in turn has a protective layer provided thereon. The protective layer is comprised of a radiation hardenable resin film or a plasma polymerization film. The inorganic material layer provides excellent moisture protection and the protective film provides improved scratch resistance. The layers have been found to adhere together well and provide an improved laser recording medium.
A laser recording medium, comprising: a transparent plastic base having thereon; a laser readable-recordable material layer; an inorganic film provided on the base at a side opposite the side where the laser readable-recordable material layer is provided; and a protective layer selected from the group . consisting of a radiation hardenable resin film and a plasma polymerization film provided on the inorganic material film.
