Abstract
Discs 8 carrying optically coded information 4 with a reading side and an abverse non-reading side have a label 7, in the form of an annular, information carrying, sheet of material adhesively secured to the surface of the non-reading side. The ladel 7 may be annular sheet of paper carrying printed information, illustrations and/or machine readable information. The label may be printed by offset lithography or directly printed from a computer using ink jet, bubble jet or other non-impact printing method. Preferably the printing is carried out on paper or other sheet stock that has been pre-coated on the unprinted side with a contact adhesive protected by a peelably removable cover sheet. The label may include a holagram or be formed using a hologram carrying sheet and may carry raised characters formed by embossing or other means. Prior to or during the application of the label to the obverse non-reading side of the disc a security devise can be placed on the disc which is held securely in position and conclealed by the applied label. The security device can be used to prevent removal of a disc from a secure area, encoded to provide source and other identification data relating to the disc or to interact with reader interogation systems to prevent unathorised reading or copying. <IMAGE>
Description
LABELLING SYSTEM FOR DISCS CARRYING AUDIO AND VIDEO
INFORMATION
This invention relates to a labelling system for discs carrying audio and video information, often called 'compact discs' or CD ROMs.
Information, musical works and video images are often optically recorded in digital form at high density as spiral tracks on disc-shaped recording media. The digital information is stored in the form of areas having differing reflectance properties. The digital information is read from the discs as variations in the reflected radiation received from a fine beam of light or infra-red radiation which is directed to and follows a recorded track of digital information as the disc rotates. The recorded information is physically in the form of small indentations in the disc surface. The recordings may be formed directly on the surface of suitably sensitised discs or, if larger numbers are to be produced, by pressing from a master disc on to a disc-shaped transparent substrate to form a corresponding pattern of indentations.The recordings are customarily read by reflectance through one side of the transparent substrate. The obverse side, intially carrying the data indentations, is coated with a reflective layer to assist reading, and a protective laquer layer. so that the final surface is substantially flat.
Marking means, to provide identification of the contents of the disc without affecting the ability to read the stored information, is customarily formed on the obverse, nonreading side of the disc.
The laquer surface of the non-reading side of a recorded disc tends to be hydrophobic and to reject water based inks. For this reason it has been customary to print information on the discs by means of the silk screen process. This is an elaborate process which requires considerable time to set up and is expensive to use on small numbers of discs, e.g. less than 1000, particularly when multi-colour printing is required. Furthermore, contamination of the reading side of the disc can easily occur corruptng the information read from the disc. As a necessity therefore the printing process must be carried out under 'clean room' conditions. Particular care must be taken to ensure that no ink particles reach the surface of the reading side of the disc as they will adhere to it permanently and destroy the integrity of data read from it.
The present invention provides a method of marking discs carrying optically coded information in digital form which is inexpensive and may be used economically on small runs of discs. The method also provides means for improving the security of the recorded information against copying or unauthorised use.
According to the present invention there is provided a method of marking discs carrying optically coded information with a reading side and an obverse non-reading side, characterised in that a label, in the form of an annular, information carrying, sheet of material is adhesively secured to the surface of the non-reading side.
In one embodiment the label is an annular sheet of paper carrying information and/or illustrations printed by offset lithography. This is a simple and inexpensive method of printing which may be carried out in an area separate from that containing recorded discs so that contamination of the discs is avoided. In a preferred embodiment the printing is carried out on paper or other sheet stock that has been pre-coated on one side with a contact adhesive and which has been protected by a peelably removable cover sheet.
The required annular shape of the label may be formed by pre-punching the necessary circular dimensions before or after printing in known manner. As well as information that can be read directly the label may carry illustrations, bar codes, or other machine readable information.
To enhance security or for artistic effects the label may include a hologram or be formed from a hologram carrying sheet.
The method of marking discs according to the invention can be used economically on small runs, e.g. 100 or so, discs which have been manufactured by direct recording rather than pressing. For very small runs, e.g. 10 or so the labels may be directly printed from a computer using ink jet, bubble jet or other, preferably non-impact, printing method. The labels may also carry raised characters formed by embossing or other means to enable the carried information to be read by blind or partially sighted users.
The physical dimensions of recorded discs conform to standards laid down on the basis of the reading devices in which they are to be used. There is normally a central aperture to receive the spindle of the reader and a peripheral area used to clamp the disc to the rotating spindle. There is also an outer border near the rim of the disc which is free of recorded information. The area between the clamping area and the border carries recorded information and is traversed by the reading device while the disc rotates. The diameter of this aperture and the overall diameter of the disc set the limits of the inner and outer diameter of the annular label.
Prior to or during the application of the label to the base surface of the disc a security device can be placed on the disc which is held securely in position by the label.
Many small types of passive security devices are known which may be used satisfactorily beneath the labels. The devices may be used to prevent removal of a disc from a secure area, encoded to provide source and other identification data or to interact with reader interogation systems to prevent unauthorised reading or copying. In many embodiments the presence of a security device will not be apparent from the external appearance of the disc.
The adhesive used to hold the label to the disc surface is preferably solvent free and, apart from being adhesively compatible, must not interact with the laquer substrate.
In a most preferred embodiment, before or after the label has been applied to the disc, a transparent protective film is laminated to the printed surface. Such a film layer prevents degradation of the printed matter or illustrations by moisture and/or abrasion.
The invention provides an economic method of applying identification labels and security markings to discs carrying optically coded information.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood it will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 shows a plan view of a disc carrying optically coded information for use in the method of the invention,
Figure 2a shows a cross-sectional view of the label illustrated in Figure 1 prior to lamination,
Figure 2b shows a cross-sectional view of the label illustrated in Figure 1 after lamination, and
Figure 3 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of part of an information carrying disc showing the relationship between the recorded data, substrate and label.
A disc carrying optically coded information 1, see Figure 1, has a centrally located aperture 2 to receive the spindle of a disc reader. An inner annular portion 3 is reserved for the clamping mechanism that engages the disc with the rotating spindle and a buffer area. After the annular area 3 there is an information area 4 carrying the information recorded in digital form which can extend up to the edge 5 of the disc 1. Preferably the annular label according to the invention covers at least all the information-area 4 on the non-reading side of the disc.
For audio discs the aperture 2 has a diameter of 15 mm, the annular area between the aperture 2 and the information area 4 has an outer diameter of 44 mm. The information area extends from the boundary of the area 4 up to the edge of the disc. The overall diameter of the disc in 120 mm.
5
Other audio discs have an overall diameter of 80 mm and for computer CDROM and video discs other standards may apply.
A label 7, see Figure 2a, is located concentrically above or below a disc 8. The surface of the disc 8 adjacent to the label 7 will be the non-reading side of the disc.
After pressure and/or vacuum the label 7 is laminated to the disc 8 and covers the information area 9 on the non-reading side, see Figure 2b. The thickness of the label 7 will depend upon the nature of the material used to carry the printed or other information. The range of thicknesses extends from 70 to 700 micrometres. The labelled disc 8 has a thickness of 1.2 mm.
The construction of a labelled disc is shown in greater detail in Figure 3. The base of the disc is formed from a substrate 10 of a polycarbonate resin. Indentations 11 are formed under the influence of pressure and temperature from a master disc. The indentations 11 carry a coating 12 of aluminium deposited under vacuum on the pressed disc.
The irregular surface provided by the indentations 11 is rendered level and the indentations protected by a layer of laquer 13. The layer is formed from a liquid photopolymerisable composition coated over the layer 12 and cured by exposure to appropriate actinic radiation. A label 14 is adhesively secured to the layer 13 as previously described.
For security purposes a device may be placed on the layer 13 before lamination with the label 14.
Passive security devices suitable for locating below the label on discs according to the invention are well known.
The devices may comprise a planar tuned circuit, a semiconductor mixer, interogatable ROM or other known device.
