Abstract

PURPOSE:To form easily the titled cylinder-type optical recording medium which is superior to a disc-type medium from the point of view of the mechanism by forming a magnetic layer or a photosensitive layer on one surface of a transparent cylindrical base body, and irradiating a condensed laser beam from the other side of the surface without the magnetic layer or the photosensitive layer to record and reproduce information. CONSTITUTION:A magnetic film (recording layer)2 is formed on the inner surface of a transparent cylindrical base body 1 by vapor deposition, etc., and a protective film 3 is formed thereon. An optical head 4 is positioned on the other side of the transparent base body 1 on which the magnetic film is not deposited namely at the outside of the cylindrical body. The laser beam 7 from the optical head 4 is condensed by the object lens actuator 5, transmitted through the transparent base body 1, and focused on the recording layer 2, and the recording and reproduction are performed. The optical head 4 is supported by a bearing 10. Focusing is carried out in the radial direction of the cylinder which is rotated by a driving part, and tracking is performed in the direction of the bus of the cylinder. The tracking is carried out by a feed screw 8 and a stepping motor 9.

Currently, there are two main methods of recording and reproducing using laser light. One of them is to form a minute spot with laser light, and the heat increases the temperature of the perpendicularly magnetized film. This method uses a magneto-optical recording medium in which the direction of magnetization of the spot is reversed by the action of a magnetic field, and during reproduction, a laser beam is applied to the spot and information is read out by changing the polarization angle.
One method uses a photosensitive layer recording medium in which information is recorded and reproduced by exposing the photosensitive layer to a laser beam and making holes or by changing the reflectance of the photosensitive layer.

しかして何れの方式においても記録媒体の形状は円盤状

In either method, the shape of the recording medium can be a disk shape (disk type) or a cylindrical shape (cylinder type).

ディスクタイプは以下のような欠点を有する。The disk type has the following drawbacks.

! When the disk is rotated at a constant rotational speed (constant angular velocity) (C:, A, V,), the linear velocity changes between the inner and outer circumferences, so it is impossible to keep the recording and reproducing conditions constant.

2.Similarly, in the case of C, A, and V, the recording Q density per unit length of the recording section is determined at the innermost periphery, and the laser power for writing needs to correspond to the linear velocity at the outermost periphery. The loss is large.

3. The rotation speed is determined by the distance al (radius) of the recording section from the center of the rotation axis.
In other words, the linear velocity is constant (C, L,
V,)2 eliminates the drawbacks of cases C, A, V, and 17), but the spindle motor control becomes complicated and the head access time becomes longer.

On the other hand, in a cylindrical shape, the distance from the rotational axis of the Q part is constant, so as long as the rotational speed is kept constant, the disadvantages of the disk type do not occur and the efficiency is the highest.However, for example, in the case of magnetic recording.

After forming the magnetic layer on the cylinder base by vapor deposition or sputtering, it was not possible to accurately form a protective layer made of a transparent material with low birefringence to protect the magnetic layer. Nevertheless, the use of disc type is the mainstream.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a main part explaining the present invention in detail, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view thereof. A magnetic film (recording layer) 2 is formed on the inside of a transparent cylindrical substrate 1 by a known method such as vapor deposition, sputtering, or dipping, and a protective film 3 is further formed on its upper surface.

Recording and reproduction are performed by an objective lens actuator 5 by an optical disc 4 located on the side of the transparent base 1 on which the magnetic film is not layered, that is, on the outside of the cylindrical base in FIG.
A laser beam 7 focused through the transparent substrate 1
This is done by focusing on the recording layer 2 through the lens. The optical helad 4 performs the above-mentioned focusing in the radial direction of the cylinder supported by a bearing 10 and rotated by a drive unit (not shown), and tracking in the generatrix direction of the cylinder.The tracking is performed by a feed screw 8 and a stepping motor. 9. 6 is a bias electromagnet.

As mentioned above, since the laser beam performs recording and reproduction through the substrate, the substrate is required to be a transparent and optically homogeneous material, and examples of the substrate material include glass, polycarbonate resin, and polymethyl methacrylic resin. In addition, the substrate is required to have sufficient strength necessary to rotate while maintaining its cylindrical shape, so its thickness is preferably 0.5 mm to 2 mm. The protective film 3 simply protects the recording layer from dust and scratches. There is no need for special optical conditions as it is sufficient to protect the film from
A vapor deposited film of O or ZnS having a thickness of several hundred to several thousand amps can be used.

FIG. 3 shows another example of the present invention, in which a magnetic film 2 is formed on the outside of a transparent cylindrical substrate 1, and a protective film 3 is formed on the upper surface thereof. In this case, the optical head 4 is located inside the cylinder due to the structure of the present invention, which makes the apparatus compact, and there is an advantage that the film forming operation is easy because the film is sequentially formed on the outside of the cylinder. .
