Abstract
Abstract A process for preparing an information recording medium in the form of an optical disc comprising a substrate and a recording layer. The recording layer is formed on the substrate by coating a dye solution which comprises a dye dissolved in a solvent of a fluorine-containing compound over the substrate, and drying thus coated layer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A process for the preparation of an information recording medium which comprises the steps of: coating a dye in a solvent containing at least 5 wt.% of a fluorine-containing compound selected from the group consisting of a fluorinated alcohol, a fluorine-substituted ketone, a fluorine-substituted ester, fluorine-substituted benzene, a fluorine-substituted amide, a fluorinated ether and a fluorine-substitute carboxylic acid over a substrate of a polymer selected from the group consisting of polycarbonate, polymethyl methyacrylate, an epoxy resin, amorphous polyolefin, polyester and polyvinyl chloride to form a coated layer; and drying the coated layer to form a recording layer for writing or reading information by means of a laser beam.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
A process for the preparation of an information recording medium which comprises the steps of: coating a dye in a solvent containing at least 5 wt.% of a fluorine-containing compound selected from the group consisting of a fluorinated alcohol, a fluorine-substituted ketone, a fluorine-substituted ester, fluorine-substituted benzene, a fluorine-substituted amide, a fluorinated ether and a fluorine-substitute carboxylic acid over a substrate of a polymer selected from the group consisting of polycarbonate, polymethyl methyacrylate, an epoxy resin, amorphous polyolefin, polyester and polyvinyl chloride to form a coated layer; and drying the coated layer to form a recording layer for writing or reading information by means of a laser beam.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said substrate is made of polycarbonate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
The process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said fluorine-containing compound is a fluorinated alcohol having the formula (I): A--CH.sub.2 OH (I) in which A is CF 3 or H(CF 2 .CF 2 ) n wherein n is an integer of 1 to 3.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said dye is a cyanine dye or a mixture of a cyanine dye and other dye.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said solvent consists essentially of a fluorine-containing compound.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
63 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said dye is at least one dye selected from the group consisting of a cyanine dye, a phthalocyanine dye, a pyrylium dye, a thiopyrylium dye, a squarillium dye, an azulenium dye, an indophenol dye, an indoaniline dye, a triphenylmethane dye, a quinone dye, an aminium dye, a diimmonium dye and a metal complex salt dye.
