Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A optical recording element comprising a transparent supporting plate, a recording layer situated on one surface of said supporting plate, an optically readable reflecting optical structure comprising reflection areas situated alternately at a higher level and a lower level situated on the same side of said supporting plate as said recording layer, said optical structure comprising a layer of synthetic resin, containing a spiral-like groove or a groove built up from concentric circles, and a reflection layer provided over the entire surface of said synthetic resin layer, characterized in that the recorded layer is situated between the transparent supporting plate and the optically readable reflecting optical structure and the reflection layer of the reflecting optical structure is situated of said synthetic resin layer remote from the recording layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
A optical recording element comprising a transparent supporting plate, a recording layer situated on one surface of said supporting plate, an optically readable reflecting optical structure comprising reflection areas situated alternately at a higher level and a lower level situated on the same side of said supporting plate as said recording layer, said optical structure comprising a layer of synthetic resin, containing a spiral-like groove or a groove built up from concentric circles, and a reflection layer provided over the entire surface of said synthetic resin layer, characterized in that the recorded layer is situated between the transparent supporting plate and the optically readable reflecting optical structure and the reflection layer of the reflecting optical structure is situated of said synthetic resin layer remote from the recording layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
An optical recording element as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the recording layer is a layer of an inorganic oxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
An optical recording element as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the recording layer is a magneto-optical layer of an inorganic oxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
An optical recording element as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the recording layer comprises a ferrite.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
An optical recording element as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that the recording layer forms an antireflex coating for the reflection layer at the area of the groove in the layer of synthetic resin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
55 words
An optical recording element as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that a transparent intermediate layer is provided between the recording layer and the reflecting optical structure, the recording layer and the intermediate layer together forming an antireflex coating for the reflection layer at the area of the groove in the layer of synthetic resin.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
An optical recording element as claimed in claim 5, characterized in that the groove extends over the whole thickness of the layer of synthetic resin.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
64 words
An optical recording element as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that the element comprises a glass supporting plate which on one side comprises successively a layer of cobalt ferrite, a transparent intermediate layer, a layer of a photoresist having a groove extending over the whole thickness of the photoresist layer and a reflecting layer of metal provided over the photoresist layer with groove.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
An optical recording element as claimed in claim 6, characterized in that the groove extends over the whole thickness of the layer of synthetic resin.
