Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the optical information recording medium which has excellent preservable and portable properties, allows high-speed accessing and has a large recording capacity by forming the recording medium in such a manner that the medium is in the form of a rectangular card during preserving and/or carrying and is deflected to a cylindrical shape at the time of recording of information. CONSTITUTION:Polycarbonate, polyester, etc., having good bendability are used in order to bend the medium in the card state to a cylindrical shape. Servo track guide grooves 4 and optical recording layer are formed on the front material and this material is stuck via an adhesive agent to a rear material. The recording medium is so formed that the medium has a flat shape at the time of non-recording and reproducing and is made into the cylindrical shape by joining of the respective ends facing each other at the time of recording and reproducing. The optical information recording medium 1 which has the excellent preserving space and portability and the large recording capacity and allows the high-speed accessing is obtd. in this way.

Conventionally, in optical information recording/reproducing apparatuses, there is an information recording/reproducing method in which grooves are formed in advance at regular intervals on the surface of a substrate for tracking serve for writing and reading. In this method, the grooves serve as a readout guide, so the tracking control accuracy of the laser beam is improved, and high-speed access is possible compared to the method using a substrate without grooves.

In addition, the nine turns of this track groove are the same as the concentric or thinly wound pattern of the circular optical information recording medium such as the original disk, and are used for the rectangular optical information recording medium, with the center of the groove's arm turn being the axis. A technique is known in which a rectangular original information recording medium is rotated and accessed. Further, a @ pattern is formed parallel to one side of the rectangle, and the recording medium is

Furthermore, when track grooves are formed parallel to one side of a rectangular information recording medium, an area where the radar light is reversed is required, which limits the effective area. Furthermore, since the radar light slows down and stops when the laser source is reversed, it is easy for the track to be misaligned due to dust, scratches, etc. or to generate noise in the reverse region.
