Both the upper and lower selenium layers have a thickness of 5~
From the viewpoint of recording and reproducing characteristics and weather resistance, it is desirable that the thickness of the tellurium layer be in the range of 100 Å, the thickness of the tellurium layer in the range of 100 to 500 Å, and the thickness of the lead layer in the range of 1 to 50 Å. As the substrate, commonly used materials such as synthetic resins such as polycarbonate, polyolefin, polymethylpentene, acrylic, and epoxy resins, and glass are used.

[Function] By interposing the lead layer between the tellurium layer and the selenium layer, pits are prevented from expanding significantly, and an excellent optical recording medium can be obtained. This is thought to be because the surface tension of the tellurium layer, which is the main factor in the change in reflectance due to the formation of pits, changes due to the formation of the lead layer, making it difficult for the pits to spread.

Since the pits do not widen greatly, recording can be performed with the pits packed together, making it possible to perform high-density recording and increase the margin for fluctuations in recording power, making it a practical optical recording medium.
