Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of an information recording medium comprising a substrate and a recording layer for writing and/or reading information by means of a laser beam which is provided on the substrate, wherein said recording layer is formed on the substrate by coating a solution which contains a dye in a solvent containing diacetone alcohol over the substrate to form a dye-coated layer, and drying the coated layer is disclosed. Also disclosed is a process for the preparation of an information recording medium comprising a substrate, an intermediate layer and a recording layer, superposed in order.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
55 words
A process for the preparation of an information recording medium which comprises the steps of: coating a solution which contains a dye in a solvent containing at least 10 weight % of diacetone alcohol over a polycarbonate substrate having a pregroove thereon; and drying thus coated layer on the substrate to form a recording layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
55 words
A process for the preparation of an information recording medium which comprises the steps of: coating a solution which contains a dye in a solvent containing at least 10 weight % of diacetone alcohol over a polycarbonate substrate having a pregroove thereon; and drying thus coated layer on the substrate to form a recording layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein said solvent contains diacetone alcohol at least 50 weight %.
Claim 4
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.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
61 words
A process for the preparation of an information recording medium which comprises the steps of: coating a solution which contains a polymer in a solvent containing at least 10 weight % of diacetone alcohol over a polycarbonate substrate having a pregroove thereon; drying thus coated layer to form an intermediate layer; and forming an information recording layer on the intermediate layer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
61 words
A process for the preparation of an information recording medium which comprises the steps of: coating a solution which contains a polymer in a solvent containing at least 10 weight % of diacetone alcohol over a polycarbonate substrate having a pregroove thereon; drying thus coated layer to form an intermediate layer; and forming an information recording layer on the intermediate layer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
