Abstract
Abstract The invention provides a data recording medium comprising: a pair of disc-shaped substrates opposing each other at a distance; a radiation-sensitive recording layer formed on an opposing surface of each of the substrates; a protective layer formed on each of the recording layers; and an adhesive layer which fills a space defined between the protective layers and which is bonded to the protective layers. The data recording medium of the invention has great mechanical strength, is capable of preventing degradation of the recording layer, is easy to manufacture and is durable over a long period of time.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A medium capable of recording and reproducing data comprising: a pair of disc-shaped substrates opposing each other at a distance; a radiation-sensitive recording layer having a thickness of less than 5,000 Å formed on an opposing surface of each of said substrates, optical data having not yet been recorded in said recording layer; a protective layer formed on each of said recording layers; and an adhesive layer which fills a space defined between said protective layers and which is bonded to said protective layers, and wherein an indented layer with tracking guides is formed between said substrate and said recording layer and a surface of said protective layer to be bonded to said adhesive layer is formed flat.
