Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain the performance of an optical disk for a long period of time and to obtain high productivity by providing a protective film made of a solvent type UV curing resin having the hardness higher than the hardness of a plastic substrate of the optical disk on the surface of said substrate to be irradiated with a light beam. CONSTITUTION:Pit train tracks indicating an information signal are formed on the recording surface 2 of the plastic substrate 1 of the optical disk. The protective film 3 consisting of the solvent type UV curing resin is provided on the surface 1b side to be irradiated with the light beam for reading said information. The protective film is harder than the substrate 1, is highly resistance to solvents, shrinks at a lower rate at the time of curing by the projection of UV rays, and has the high adhesiveness to the substrate 1; in addition, the refractive index and coefft. of thermal expansion thereof are nearly equalized to the refractive index and coefft. of thermal expansion of the substrate 1. The resistance of the optical disk to flawing is enhanced by providing such protective film 3 thereto.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an optical disc in which information signals can be reproduced by irradiation with a light beam, and particularly to a protective film for a substrate.

From the viewpoint of productivity and cost, -a, PC (polycarbonate resin), P
Thermoplastic resins such as MMA (polymethyl methacrylate resin) and thermosetting resins such as epoxy resins are used. A track made of a bit string representing an information signal is formed on one side of a substrate made of such a plastic material, that is, a plastic substrate, and by scanning the track by irradiating a light beam from the other side, Information signals can be reproduced.

In such an optical disc, in order to be able to reproduce information signals satisfactorily, it is necessary that the surface of the plastic substrate onto which the light beam is irradiated, that is, the light beam irradiation surface, be uniformly flat and free from dust and dirt.

However, conventionally, the light beam irradiation surface is exposed, and as a result, it is often prone to being scratched or attracting dust and the like. Furthermore, the surface of the substrate may be accidentally contaminated with solvent or the like. If the light beam irradiation surface is scratched, the light beam irradiated there will be reflected diffusely, causing level fluctuations in the reproduced information signal.Furthermore, if dust or solvent adheres to the surface, the amount of light beam transmitted will change and playback will be affected. Level fluctuations occur in the information signal. In particular, if a solvent or the like adheres, this will melt the plastic substrate and cause damage to the surface irradiated with the light beam. If dust or solvent adheres to it, you can wipe it off, but since the plastic substrate is relatively soft, the light beam irradiated surface is easily scratched, and the light beam irradiated surface becomes electrically charged, making it more likely that dust will adhere to it. It becomes easier.

On the other hand, it is known to provide a protective film on the side of the plastic substrate irradiated with the light beam. As an example,
No. 4-179104 discloses an optical disc in which a mixture of a silicon compound and a vinyl compound is used as a protective film to improve the antifogging properties and abrasion resistance of the surface irradiated with a light beam.

However, such a mixture is a thermosetting resin, and in order to form a protective film using it, it is necessary to apply heat and cure the mixture on a plastic substrate, but the curing process requires several steps. This takes time and poses a problem in the productivity of optical discs. Furthermore, since the heating temperature for curing is relatively high, the plastic substrate will be thermally deformed.

In addition, silicone resin is easily immersed in strong alkaline solvents, and its hardness is too high and its coefficient of thermal expansion is different from that of plastic materials, so when the plastic substrate expands or contracts due to temperature changes, the protective film may deteriorate. There are problems in that cracks occur and the protective film peels off.

Solvent-type ultraviolet curing resin has excellent mechanical strength as described above, but when using it as the protective film 3,
The shrinkage rate during curing by ultraviolet irradiation must be small (approximately 15% or less), the formed film must have good adhesion to the plastic substrate 1, and the refractive index and thermal expansion coefficient must be similar to that of the plastic base Fi1. It must be of similar quality and not eroded by solvents. Solvent-type UV-curable resins that satisfy these conditions include toluene,
Any one of acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, etc.
A solvent dissolved in different types of solvent or a mixed solvent of two or more types is used, but it depends on the material of the plastic substrate 1, and the solvent must be selected and used. Here, to give a specific example, when the plastic substrate 1 is made of PC, the solvent-based ultraviolet curing resin that satisfies the above conditions as the protective film 3 is UVX-HM manufactured by ThreeBond.

As described above, the above-mentioned solvent-based ultraviolet curing resin (UVX-HM 185-2) is suitable as a protective film on the light beam irradiation surface side of a plastic substrate made of PC. When this solvent-based UV-curable resin is applied to a PC board, the solvent dissolves the surface of the PC board, and the UV-curable resin becomes P.
The so-called anchor effect that invades the PC board is stopped, and as a result, the adhesion between the PC board and the formed protective film is good. Moreover, this solvent-type ultraviolet curable resin has a hydrophilic functional group and has a water permeability that is moderately higher than that of a PC board. As a result, water does not stay at the interface with the PC board and peel off from the PC board, which also results in better adhesion to the PC board, and it is also more antistatic than a PC board. Effects will also be obtained.

As explained above, according to the present invention, not only the scratch resistance of the light beam irradiated side of the plastic substrate is significantly improved, but also the adhesion of the protective film to the plastic substrate, the scratch resistance, and the shrinkage resistance.

Since the protective film itself has excellent solvent resistance and can be formed in an extremely short time, it is possible to obtain the effect that the productivity of optical discs that can maintain excellent performance is greatly improved.
