Abstract

Abstract A magneto-optical recording disk has a transparent resinous substrate with a pre-groove, and a metallic recording layer formed above the substrate. A transparent adhesive layer is provided between the substrate and the recording layer, for allowing a laser beam to pass therethrough, and for causing the recording layer to be tightly adhered to the substrate to thereby prevent the recording layer from being peeled off from the substrate. The adhesive layer is comprised of a fluorine resin material.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim 156 words
An optical recording medium comprising: a transparent resinous substrate with a pre-groove, said substrate allowing a radiation beam to pass therethrough; a metallic recording layer formed above said substrate, said recording layer changing its optical characteristic in an area on which the radiation beam is focused to form a beam spot; and a transparent adhesive layer provided between said substrate and said recording layer, for allowing the radiation beam to pass therethrough, and for causing said recording layer to be adhered to said substrate to prevent said recording layer from being peeled off from said substrate, said adhesive layer comprising a fluorine resin material which is contained therein in such a manner that said adhesive layer is made of pure fluorine resin material at least in the surface region of said adhesive layer which is in contact with said substrate, to thereby maximize the adhesion force between said transparent resinous substrate and said metallic recording layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 156 words
An optical recording medium comprising: a transparent resinous substrate with a pre-groove, said substrate allowing a radiation beam to pass therethrough; a metallic recording layer formed above said substrate, said recording layer changing its optical characteristic in an area on which the radiation beam is focused to form a beam spot; and a transparent adhesive layer provided between said substrate and said recording layer, for allowing the radiation beam to pass therethrough, and for causing said recording layer to be adhered to said substrate to prevent said recording layer from being peeled off from said substrate, said adhesive layer comprising a fluorine resin material which is contained therein in such a manner that said adhesive layer is made of pure fluorine resin material at least in the surface region of said adhesive layer which is in contact with said substrate, to thereby maximize the adhesion force between said transparent resinous substrate and said metallic recording layer.
