Abstract
Abstract An optical disc includes a pair of substrates, at least one of which has predetermined information pits formed on one surface. The two substrates are bonded with a hot-melt adhesive having (1) a softening point of not more than 140° C., (2) a dry tensile adhesive strength of not less than 1 kg/cm 2 at 20° C. and (3) a melt viscosity of not more than 1,000 P at 160° C.
