BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to improvements in optical recording media, particularly heat mode optical recording media. Prior Art In contrast to conventional magnetic recording systems, research and development of optical recording systems are being actively conducted. This is because optical recording allows for higher density and higher S/N recording than magnetic recording, non-contact playback means that the pickup and recording medium have a longer lifespan, and random access This is due to the fact that it has many advantages, such as being able to By the way, optical recording methods include photon mode recording and heat mode recording in which absorbed photons are temporarily converted into heat. In this case, heat mode recording has the advantage over photon mode recording that a darkroom is not required. In addition, with photon mode recording, it is difficult to obtain photosensitive materials that are sensitive to long wavelength lasers such as 1-1e -Ne lasers and semiconductor lasers, whereas with heat mode recording, materials with high sensitivity to long wavelength lasers are realized. This also has the advantage that these small lasers can be used and the recording device can be made smaller. For this reason, the practical use of heat mode recording methods is progressing, and several proposals regarding recording media have been made. Conventionally proposed heat mode optical recording media include:
During recording, holes called pits are formed in the recording layer by irradiation with No. 1 No. 1 light, and the heat is used to form holes called pits in the recording layer, and reading is performed using reflected or transmitted light from the pits or around the pits. Most of them are. As one such optical recording medium, one is known in which a recording layer made of nitrocellulose containing a light absorber such as carbon black is formed on a substrate. Such optical recording media absorb the recording laser beam with carbon black, etc., decompose or burn the nitrocellulose with the heat generated by this absorption, and further decompose or burn the carbon black, thereby forming pits in the recording layer. The formation of Then, by detecting the transmitted or reflected light of the readout laser beam, information from the pits thus formed is read out. However, in such media, repeated irradiation with readout light causes the shape of the pit where one bit of information is recorded to change12, and the S/N ratio gradually deteriorates, causing playback deterioration. It has the disadvantage of being harsh. In addition, when pits are formed in a continuous track shape,
If the pit spacing is not set to a certain degree, the S/N ratio will decrease, which has the disadvantage that the recording density will have to be lowered. It was developed in view of the above, and aims to reduce reproduction deterioration and increase the recording density without reducing the S/N ratio in optical recording media having a recording layer made of nitrocellulose and a light absorber. As a result of intensive research into this purpose, the Ministry of the Invention and others found that this purpose can be achieved when the viscosity of nitrocellulose is set to a predetermined value. That is, the present invention provides an optical recording medium having a recording layer containing nitrocellulose and a light absorber, wherein the viscosity of the nitrocellulose is as specified in JIS K 6703. It is an optical recording material characterized by having a viscosity of 20 or more in terms of symbol. ■ Specific configuration of the invention The specific configuration of the present invention will be explained in detail below. Contained in the recording J@ As for 2l/1j ten lulose,
Various types can be used. In this case, in terms of safety and redundancy, the nitrogen content is 10 to 13
%, more preferably about 107 to 12.2% of I pieces. The viscosity of such nitrodecululose determined by the okiya is JIS K 6703 K stipulated viscosity chart, if it is not less than 20, the viscosity is 20. means 95%-r-chik
7 Lukol 25.0 wt%, toluene 55, Qwt
A nitrocellulose solution (solution viscosity 12.2%) in a mixed bath of 2Q% and ethyl vinegar 2Q, Qwt% was put into a cylinder made of Tsunolas with a given σ゛), and a given steel ball was heated at 25°C. When the falling time is calculated as the average of 2aj constant time to pass a distance of 254+mn, the falling time is 160~2
It means that it is 4.0 seconds. Therefore, the nitrocellulose in the present invention has a fall time of -F of 16 seconds or more. If the viscosity symbol determined in this way is smaller than 20, the reproduction deterioration will be severe (and the pit recording density will be affected. 12
It is preferably 0 or less. This is because if it is larger than 120, the viscosity of the coating liquid when coating the recording layer becomes crystallized, making coating difficult. In this case, the viscosity symbol 120 is based on the above-mentioned fall time.
C is 110. (1 to 1400 seconds. Therefore, it can be said that the above-mentioned falling time is preferably 16 to 140 seconds. There is no limit to the percentage of the properties of the nitrocellulose used other than the above, and the solubility type etc. It can be used in various ways. Even if it is synthesized separately and used,
Also, commercially available products may be used. In such nitrocellulose, recording light is absorbed by a light absorber (described later), and the temperature of the irradiated area is kept at a predetermined temperature, usually 180°C.
When the temperature rises to about ℃, oxidative decomposition occurs and combustion occurs.
It forms bits. Furthermore, nitrocellulose also has a binder function for the light absorber, and the light absorber is dispersed in the nitrocellulose or the two are mutually dissolved to form a recording layer. The light absorber contained in the recording 111 exhibits a large light absorption rate for the recording light, as shown in the -1 series, and is used to enable temperature rise in the irradiation part. When nitrocellulose is burned, it is decomposed, burned, melted, etc., and most of it is removed from the pit portion. Therefore, depending on the wavelength of the recording light, the light absorber 12
A wide variety of well-known dyes such as atraquinone, copper-phthalocyanine, azo, and azine yarns, which absorb light with a wavelength of 400 m to 800 m, and inorganic pigments such as carbon black,
Organic pigments such as lake pigments, or ultrafine metal powders can all be suitably used. The weight ratio of the nitrocell and the light absorber in the recording layer is not particularly limited and may be appropriately determined depending on the conditions of use. However, under normal conditions, it is common for the weight ratio of nido Ii -ni< /rerose to be about 17,100 to 2 times the weight of the light absorber. Such a recording layer containing nitrocellulose and a light absorber is usually prepared in a suitable manner.

However, it is common to have a poison of 001 to 1μ. In addition, such a recording 1- may contain other additives in addition to the light absorber and the Hf constant nitrocellulose v. Examples of such additives include various oligomers or small polymers. In this case, the oligomers or oligomers are contained in an amount of approximately 30% by weight or less based on nitrocellulose, and are added to the support. It can improve the tti properties, coatability, and coating properties. In addition, it may contain plasticizers, surfactants, anti-corrosion agents, anti-slip agents, flame retardants, ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants, stabilizers, dispersants, etc. . In order to form such a recording layer on the substrate, a light absorber with a predetermined i ratio and nitro (lulose) are added to a suitable R4 solution, and a co-solvent and diluent are added. The optical recording medium of the present invention is usually coated with the above-mentioned material on the substrate by applying and drying it on the substrate using the nuviner method or coater. The structure can be formed by laying recording layers, or the structure can follow the pattern of the gods, for example, in addition to laying seven recording layers on one side or both sides of the substrate,
4f: Various known structures can be employed, such as using two recording layers, facing each other with the recording layers facing each other, and facing each other with a predetermined gap. Note that the above-mentioned medium may be provided with a reflective layer made of metal or a layer such as a resin layer, if necessary, and a recording layer may be provided on this layer. Alternatively, the top layer may be provided separately. ■Specific operation of the invention The optical recording medium described above allows writing and reading using a laser beam in the following manner. First, the recording light is irradiated at 1']5°.
%A, r. This can be carried out by condensing various types of lasers with wavelengths of about 400 to 35 Q nm, such as semi-integrated lasers, and various outputs can be used. Also, the standard conditions of laser light, pulse width,
The light condensing conditions are also very wide-ranging. By irradiating recording light with such a racer,
The nitrocellulose in the recording layer is combusted, and minute recording pits corresponding to the irradiated area are formed on the surface of the irradiated layer in the irradiated area.
The combustion is approximately 15 mf per minute, most of which is removed from the pit area. In order to read out the written information, the pits formed by this VC need to be used with recording light and a low-power readout light.
- Laser light may be used, focused, and the output of either transmitted light or reflected light may be detected. ■ Specific effects of the invention! According to 1, since nitrocellulose with a viscosity of JIS K 6703 viscosity code 20 or higher is used, the reproduction deterioration of the S/N ratio due to repeat irradiation is extremely small. In such a case,
Even if the pit interval is made extremely small, the S/N ratio does not decrease and the editing density can be recorded. The Ministry of the Invention et al. conducted various experiments to confirm the effects of the present invention. An example is shown below. Five types of nitrocellulose were prepared with JIS K 6703).On the other hand, as a light absorber, a copper-7 thalocyanine dye, Oleozol Firth I Blue EL (manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.) was used as a membrane filter ( 0.8μ hole diameter)
These were filtered with 1:1 of ethyl cellosolve so that the weight ratio of nitrocellulose to light absorber was 1:1;
Butyl acetate 1:isobilovir alcohol]; Dissolved and dispersed in a solvent of toluene 2. Next, this was applied onto an acrylic plate disk having a diameter of 301M using a spinner method, dried, and a layer was formed to a thickness of 0.6 μm to prepare a 5-complement optical recording medium. For each of these optical recording media, 1800 rl
) while rotating at m, output 10 mW (7) He
Optical recording was performed by condensing -Ne laser light to 0.8 μm and φ and irradiating it as a pulse with a pulse width of I Q Q n Sec at a predetermined frequency. In this case, pits of 0.8μ x φ were formed in a track shape with a gap of 3μ on each medium. Next, for each pit formed in these five types of media,
1 mW) le -Net/- laser with a width of 1 μSeC,
It is irradiated as a 300 Hz pulse, and the reflected light of this readout light is detected to determine the peak-to-peak S/N ratio (dB
) was measured, and each sample obtained approximately 40 dB. Next, the readout light was irradiated for 5 minutes to evaluate reproduction deterioration of the S/N ratio under extremely severe conditions. The results are shown in fit. Furthermore, the frequency of the recording light irradiation pulse during the above writing was changed, the pit gap was formed to 0.8 μm, and the S
/N ratio is measured, and the S/N ratio X at the above 3μ information gap is determined.
was calculated. The results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Viscosity symbol S ratio change (%) Xl

1/2 20 0.3 From the results shown in Table 1, the effects of the present invention are clear. That is, when the viscosity symbol is 20 or more, reproduction deterioration becomes much smaller even under extremely severe conditions, and the decrease in the S/N ratio when the recording density is lowered becomes much smaller.
