Abstract
Abstract A process for producing an optical data storage disc (e.g., a compact disc) carrying a digital recording and also carries a holographic image is disclosed. The holographic recording occupies an area (14) separate from the area (12) occupied by the digital recording, for example, the holographic recording may be positioned in an annular area encircling the central area occupied by the digital recording.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A method for manufacturing optical data storage discs which carry a digital recording and a holographic image, said method comprising the steps of: producing a master by a process comprising the steps of forming a digital recording and a holographic recording on said master in successive optical exposures so that the same said master carries both the digital recording and the holographic recording; and, replicating optical data storage discs from said master, said optical data storage discs thereby carrying both said digital recording and said hologram which, upon replay under incident light, will produce a visible image.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
97 words
A method for manufacturing optical data storage discs which carry a digital recording and a holographic image, said method comprising the steps of: producing a master by a process comprising the steps of forming a digital recording and a holographic recording on said master in successive optical exposures so that the same said master carries both the digital recording and the holographic recording; and, replicating optical data storage discs from said master, said optical data storage discs thereby carrying both said digital recording and said hologram which, upon replay under incident light, will produce a visible image.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
80 words
A method for manufacturing optical data storage discs which carry a digital recording and a holographic image, said method comprising the steps of: producing a master by a process comprising the steps of forming a digital recording and a holographic recording on separate substrates and then forming corresponding recordings on said master from the recordings on the separate substrates so that said master carries the digital recording and the holographic recording; and, replicating optical data storage discs from said master.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
80 words
A method for manufacturing optical data storage discs which carry a digital recording and a holographic image, said method comprising the steps of: producing a master by a process comprising the steps of forming a digital recording and a holographic recording on separate substrates and then forming corresponding recordings on said master from the recordings on the separate substrates so that said master carries the digital recording and the holographic recording; and, replicating optical data storage discs from said master.
