Here, a conventional method for rewriting existing data in a rewritable type optical disc will be described with reference to FIG. 7 in the case of a phase change optical disc. FIG. 7A shows a mark formed on a rewritable optical disc. When rewriting the recording mark, the phase change optical disk is rewritten by overwriting as described above. In the rewriting process, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), even when a data pattern different from the data pattern of the already recorded track is recorded or the same data pattern is re-recorded, the recording start point is the optical recording device. A mark to be newly recorded may be partially overlapped and recorded with respect to the position of the mark that has already been formed due to control fluctuations during recording. Generally, as a mark recording on a phase change optical disc,
If the mark is amorphous and the state is selected, the erased state becomes a crystalline state. From this, the refractive index generally changes between the mark, which is an amorphous region, and the erased region, which is a crystalline state. When the refractive index changes, the absorptance of laser light in the amorphous mark region and the crystalline erase region changes. Absorption rate is shown in Figure 6.
In the optical disc shown in (1), it changes if the film thickness of each layer changes, but here, as an example, consider the case where the absorptance of the mark region is higher than that of the erased region. In this case, when the laser light having the same irradiation intensity is applied, the temperature of the mark area becomes higher than that of the erase area. In particular, when recording is performed with some overlap on the existing mark as shown in FIG. 7B, it is considered that the temperature of the area A where the laser light overlaps the existing mark becomes higher than that of the area B where the laser light does not overlap. Here, consider the temperature distribution in the cross-sectional direction of the optical recording medium. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the temperature distribution in the mark area of FIG. 7 (b) taken in the X direction. The recording layer 80 is sandwiched by a first protective layer 81 and a second protective layer 82. Actually, the substrate, the reflection layer, the adhesive, and the protective plate are present, but they are omitted here for simplification. Laser light on recording layer 80
When 83 is irradiated, the recording layer 80 generates heat and the first protective layer 81
The temperature of the second protective layer 82 in the film thickness direction is higher as it is closer to the recording layer 80. Therefore, the first protective layer 81 and the second protective layer 82 thermally expand, but it is considered that the closer to the recording layer 80, the larger the amount of expansion and the more the recording layer 80 is bent. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, when the laser light 83 is applied so as to overlap the existing mark to some extent, the temperature of the area A overlapping the mark becomes higher than that of the area B not overlapping. Therefore, the protective layer close to the area A is further bent toward the recording layer side, the portion of the recording layer 80 melted by the laser beam is pushed out in the direction of the area B, and the recording layer moves. If this phenomenon is repeated over and over again with respect to the already recorded mark several times, the recording layer 80 is moved sequentially, and a film thickness variation or a portion without the recording layer occurs, which makes normal recording impossible. There was a problem.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which a recording mark is formed on a track of a rewritable optical recording medium according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 (a) shows that the recording mark is already formed on the optical recording medium. The formed recording mark row is shown. In the case of an optical disc, the recording mark 2 is generally formed along the track 1. In the first embodiment, the recording mark 2 will be described by exemplifying the case where the recording mark 2 is amorphous, but the invention is not limited to this and may be in a crystalline state. When the amorphous state is selected for the recording mark 2, the other regions are in the crystalline state. FIG. 1B shows a case where the recording mark is rewritten on the track shown in FIG.
In FIG. 1B, 3 is a newly formed new recording mark. As shown in FIG. 1B, the new recording mark 3 is recorded at a position that does not overlap the previously formed recording mark 2. The already-recorded marks 2 already formed at this stage are erased, and this portion becomes a crystalline state. FIG. 2 shows a cross section of the track shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 20 denotes a recording layer, and the recording layer 20 is sandwiched by a first protective layer 21 and a second protective layer 22. Reference numeral 23 denotes an already formed recorded mark, which corresponds to the recorded mark 2 in FIG. 1 (b). 2
4 is a new recording mark newly recorded, laser light 25
It is formed by irradiating. The new recording mark 24 corresponds to the new recording mark 3 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the new recording mark 24 is formed especially between the previously recorded marks 23 so as not to overlap with the previously recorded marks 23 previously recorded. The new recording mark 24 is formed in a crystalline state region other than the already recorded mark 23. That is, since the area having the same absorption rate is heated, the area where the new recording mark 23 is formed is
It is considered that the symmetry of the temperature distribution in the track direction becomes better than that of the conventional one. Here, the first protective layer 21 and the second protective layer
22 is deformed so that the recording layer 20 side is convex. Further, since it is considered that the temperature distribution in the track direction has a good symmetry, it is considered that this convex deformation is targeted in the track direction. Therefore, the recording layer 20 is less likely to move in one direction. Further, when the recording mark is rewritten many times and the new recording mark is repeatedly formed with some overlap with the already recorded mark, the recording sequentially moves in a certain direction, but in the first embodiment, it does not overlap with the already recorded mark 23. Since the new recording mark 24 is formed on the recording layer 20, the movement of the recording layer 20 is divided. As a result, since the mass transfer of the recording layer 20 is reduced, it is possible to prevent the film thickness variation of the recording layer 20 and the region where the recording layer 20 is absent, and it is possible to stably rewrite many times.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which a recording mark is formed on the track of the rewritable optical recording medium in the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 (a) shows that the track is already formed on the track of the optical recording medium. The formed recording mark row is shown. In the case of an optical disc, the recording mark 32 is generally formed along the track 31
Is formed. The recording mark 32 (32a, 32b, 32c) is the second
In the embodiment, the case where the mark is amorphous will be described as an example, but the invention is not limited to this and the state may be a crystalline state. When the amorphous state is selected for the recording mark 32, the other regions are in the crystalline state. FIG. 3B shows a case where the recording mark is rewritten on the track shown in FIG. In FIG. 3B, 33 is a newly formed new recording mark. As shown in FIG. 3B, the new recording mark 33 (33a, 33b) is recorded at the same position as the already recorded mark 32. Since rewriting is performed at this stage, the recorded mark 32b is erased, and the recorded marks 32a and 32a are recorded again.
The new recording marks 33a and 33b are formed on c.
FIG. 4 shows a cross section of the track shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 40 denotes a recording layer, and this recording layer 40 is the first protective layer 41.
The second protective layer 42 has a sandwiched structure. Reference numeral 43 denotes an already formed recording mark, which corresponds to the recording mark 32 shown in FIG. 44 (44a, 44b) is a new recording mark newly recorded and is formed by irradiating the laser beam 45.
The new recording mark 44 corresponds to the new recording mark 33 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the new recording mark 44 is recorded at the same position as the previously recorded mark 43 previously recorded. That is, since the new recording mark 44 is formed in the amorphous region of the already-recorded mark 43, the region having the same absorptivity is heated, so that the region where the new recording mark 44 is recorded has a temperature distribution in the track direction. It is believed that the symmetry will be better than before.
Here, the first protective layer 41 and the second protective layer 42 are deformed so as to be convex toward the recording layer 40 side. Further, since it is considered that the temperature distribution in the track direction is more symmetrical, this convex deformation is considered to be symmetrical in the track direction. Therefore,
Movement of the recording layer 40 in one direction is reduced. Furthermore, when the recording mark is rewritten many times and a new recording mark is repeatedly formed with some overlap with the already recorded mark, the recording layer sequentially moves in a certain direction. But the second
In this embodiment, since the new recording mark is formed at the same position as the already recorded mark 43, the movement of the recording layer 40 is divided. As a result, since the mass transfer of the recording layer 40 is reduced, it is possible to prevent the film thickness variation of the recording layer 40 and the generation of the region where the recording layer 40 is absent, and it is possible to stably rewrite many times.

FIG. 5 shows a state in which recording marks are formed on the tracks of the rewritable optical recording medium in the third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 (a) shows that the recording marks have already been formed on the optical recording medium. The recorded mark row is shown. In the case of an optical disc, the recorded marks 52 (52a, 52a,
52b) is formed. The recording mark 52 will be described in the third embodiment by taking the case where the mark is amorphous as an example, but the invention is not limited to this and may be a crystal. When the amorphous state is selected for the recording mark 52, the other regions are in the crystalline state. Figure 5
Figure 5 (b) shows the case of rewriting the recording mark on track 51 in (a).
Shown in. In FIG. 5B, it is a new recording mark newly formed on 53 (53a, 53b, 53c). As shown in FIG. 5B, the new recording mark 53 is formed at a position where it does not overlap with the previously recorded mark 52 and at the same position as the already recorded mark 52.
Since the new recording mark 53 forms an amorphous region and a crystalline region of the already recorded mark 52, the region having the same absorptance is heated, and the region where the new recording mark 53 is recorded has a temperature distribution in the track direction. It is believed that the symmetry will be better than before. Therefore, it is considered that the convex deformation of the protective layer becomes symmetrical in the track direction, as in the first and second embodiments. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the displacement of the recording layer in one direction. Further, when the recording mark is rewritten many times and a new recording mark is repeatedly overlapped with the existing recording mark, the recording layer is sequentially moved in a certain direction. However, in the third embodiment, the new recording mark is formed at the same position as the already-recorded mark 52 and at a position not overlapping with it, so that the mass transfer of the recording layer is divided. As a result, it is possible to prevent the film thickness of the recording layer from varying and the region without the recording layer from occurring, and it is possible to stably rewrite many times.

As described above, according to the present invention, a mark is formed at a position other than a recorded mark during recording, or a mark is formed at substantially the same position as a recorded mark during recording, or recording is performed. By forming marks at positions other than the already-recorded marks and at substantially the same positions at times, mass transfer of the recording layer is suppressed, and it is possible to suppress fluctuations in the thickness of the recording layer and the occurrence of portions without the recording layer.
