Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide an optical recording medium having a recording film having excellent characteristics as to record reproduction or the like without damaging an injection-molded base, by incorporating a specified cyanine coloring matter and a quencher in a recording film of an optical recording medium which comprises the recording film on a plastic base. CONSTITUTION:A recording film on a plastic base of an optical recording medium comprises a cyanine coloring matter of formula I, wherein R1 and R2 are each alkyl of 3 to 6 carbon atoms, and a quencher of formula II, wherein each of R3 to R10 is hydrogen, an alkyl or allyl group, and X is a halogen. The quencher is used for increasing optical stability, particularly for preventing decolorization from being caused by reading light. A solvent used in coating for forming the recording film comprising the quencher and the cyanine coloring matter may be diacetone or the like, which does not damage the base beneath the recording film.

Drop the UV curable resin onto the stamper, place the substrate on top of it, and spread the UV curable resin sufficiently thinly while making sure that no air bubbles remain between the stamper and the substrate.
It is formed by irradiating ultraviolet rays from above the substrate to polymerize and harden the ultraviolet curable resin. Therefore, a problem arises in that the work process becomes extremely complicated and productivity cannot be improved. One possible solution to this problem is to use a so-called injection-molded substrate, in which a plastic substrate with groups and the like is integrally molded by injection molding without using the above-mentioned ultraviolet curable resin.
