[Technical field] The present invention consists of three layers: a reflective layer, a transparent intermediate layer, and a recording layer.
The present invention relates to an optical information recording medium having a layered structure. [Prior art] The properties necessary for the material of an optical information recording medium are to reflect light, to absorb light, and to change the state or shape of the part that absorbed the light, changing its light reflection characteristics before and after irradiation. It is. Therefore, conventionally, the recording layer of an optical information recording medium is composed of a single layer of a low-melting point metal or a metal fine particle resin dispersion layer, or it is composed of a two-layer structure in which the reflective layer is made of a metal and the absorption layer is made of a dye. Although some are known, none of them are still sufficient in terms of C/N and recording sensitivity. [Purpose] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to provide an optical information recording medium with high sensitivity and high resolution. [Structure] The inventors of the present invention have conducted various studies for the above-mentioned purpose, and have found that reducing the thickness of the recording layer requires less energy when forming pits, thereby increasing sensitivity. The present invention was developed by focusing on the fact that since the so-called rim (rim) becomes smaller, the pit spacing can be narrowed and higher recording density can be achieved. That is, the present invention provides an optical information recording medium with a dye reflective layer 2, as shown in the figure.
It is composed of a transparent intermediate layer 3 and a metal recording layer 4, the reflective layer has an appropriate reflectance and transmittance, the recording layer has an appropriate reflectance, and the thickness of the transparent intermediate layer is i/4n (however, λ is (where n means the wavelength of the reproduction light and n means the refractive index of the transparent intermediate layer), the transparent intermediate layer 3 has the following characteristics: When reproduction light is incident from the reflective layer, the light reflected by the reflective layer is determined by the transparent intermediate layer 3, as shown in the figure. r
and the light that passes through the reflective layer, reflects on the recording layer, and returns.
The antireflection structure is such that the light r' is canceled out by interference, and the light r is reflected at the pit portion 5 without being weakened, resulting in a large contrast.As a result, the reflectance of the reflective layer and the recording layer can be relatively low. Therefore, it becomes possible to reduce the thickness of the recording layer. The optical information recording medium of the present invention has a reflective layer, a transparent intermediate layer, and a recording layer laminated in sequence on a substrate, and is characterized in that the reflective layer is a dye thin film and the recording layer is a metal thin film. It is. Next, the structure of the optical information recording medium of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. As shown in the figure, the optical information recording medium of the present invention basically comprises a dye reflective layer 2 provided on a substrate 1, a transparent intermediate layer 3 further provided thereon, and a metal recording layer 4 further provided thereon. It is something. When recording and reproducing light is incident from the substrate side, a transparent member such as glass or plastic is used as the substrate. On the other hand, when the recording/reproducing light is made to enter from the film surface, basically an opaque member such as metal or ceramics can be used in addition to the above-mentioned transparent member. The dye-reflecting layer contains one or more organic dyes and may optionally contain other components such as binders, stabilizers (eg, transition metal complexes), and the like. Organic dyes include dyes already proposed by the present inventors, such as cyanine, merocyanine, triphenylmethane, naphthoquinone, xanthene, and squalium dyes, as well as azo, stilbene, and phthalocyanine direct dyes, azo, anthraquine, and triphenyl dyes. Enylmethane, xanthene, azine acid dyes, cyanine, azo, azine, triphenylmethane basic dyes, azo, anthraquinone, xanthene, triphenylmethane mordant/acid mordant dyes, anthraquinone, indigoid dyes. Dyes, azo, anthraquinone, phthalocyanine, triphenylmethane-based oil-soluble dyes, etc. can be used. Among the organic dyes used in the present invention, cyanine dyes and merocyanine dyes are particularly preferred, and these are represented by the following formulas. However, R 1 and R 2 represent a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, or an alkenyl group, and Z 1 and Z 2 are atomic groups necessary to complete the substituted or unsubstituted heterocycle. and Z 3 is a substituted or unsubstituted 5-membered ring or a 6-membered ring.
Indicates the atomic group necessary to complete the membered ring, and the 5-membered ring or 6-membered ring may be fused with an aromatic ring, R 3 represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom, R 4 and R 5 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxy group, a carboxyl group, an alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or an acyloxy group, X represents an acid anion, and l,
m and n are 0 or 1. however,
