The present invention relates to a hill / valley recording type optical disc in which the shift portion of a mountain track and a valley track is accurately detected. Further, the present invention relates to an optical disc recording / reproducing apparatus which can record / reproduce information by accurately identifying the displacement portion of a mountain track and a valley track using the mountain / gol recording optical disc.

Recently, optical discs have been developed in various forms to record as much information as possible as a recording medium for recording various information such as video and audio information. Such optical discs are roughly classified into a read-only type and a recordable type.

In the recordable optical disc, identification information including physical address information indicating the recording position of the information is pre-formatted. Among the recordable optical discs, an optical disc such as a CD-R has a mountain signal track 10 and a valley signal track 12 as shown in FIG. The signal track 12 of the goal is wobbling in accordance with a carrier signal in which identification information including address information and the like is frequency-modulated. The address information is detected by the wobbling signal detected from the signal track 12 of the wobbled goal as described above, and the information is recorded on the track 12 of the goal based on this address information. However, in this type of optical disc, since the information is recorded only on the signal track 12 of the valley, the recording capacity is inevitably limited.

In order to increase the recording capacity, there is an optical disc for recording information on both the mountain and valley tracks, for example, a DVD-RAM. However, an optical disc such as a DVD-RAM has a limited recording density in the prepit form as much as an area occupied by a header field in which identification information on a mountain signal track or a valley signal track is recorded. The optical disc disclosed in Patent Application No. 98-32977 filed by the applicant of the present application records information on both the mountain signal track 20 and the valley signal track 22 as shown in FIG. The in-phase wobbling area 24A recorded in phase and the out-of-phase wobbling area 24B in which identification information is recorded in two phases are alternately arranged in the radial direction and the track direction. In this optical disc, one information recording unit includes an adjacent in-phase wobbling area 24A and a two-phase wobbling area 24B, and in-phase wobbling located in front of or behind the two-phase wobbling area 24B. Address information is detected from the area 24A, and user information is recorded in both the mountain and valley signal tracks 20 and 22 based on the detected address information.

Generally, in the recordable optical disc, the mountain, signal track 32, and valley signal tracks 34 are switched in one rotation period. The polarity of the tracking error signal, which is the reference signal of the tracking servo, should be reversed at the point where the mountain signal track 32 and the goal signal track 34 are transferred. In other words, control conditions such as inversion of the tracking error signal should be different according to the mountain signal track 32 or the valley signal track 34. To this end, there is a demand for a method capable of accurately determining a transition portion that is converted from the signal track 32 of the valley to the signal track 34 of the valley or the signal track 32 of the valley.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an acid / gol recording type optical disc capable of accurately discriminating the transition portions of a mountain track and a valley track.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an optical disc recording / reproducing apparatus capable of accurately recording / reproducing information by accurately determining displacement portions of a mountain track and a valley track using the mountain / gol recording optical disc.

In order to achieve the above objects, in the mountain / gol recording type optical disc according to the present invention, track shift information for indicating track shift positions of the hills and valleys is recorded on a synchronization signal area corresponding to the track shift positions of the hills and valleys. do.

An optical disc recording / reproducing apparatus according to the present invention includes an optical disc on which track shift information for indicating a track shift position of a hill and a valley is recorded on a synchronization signal area corresponding to the track shift position of a hill and a valley, and on the optical disc. Means for detecting recorded track shift information, and a tracking control section for inverting the polarity of a tracking error signal that causes the light beam focused on the optical disc to follow the center of the signal track and the valley of the valley according to the track shift information; Means for recording information on the tracks of the hills and valleys, and means for reproducing the information recorded on the tracks.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention in addition to the above objects will become apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7.

Referring to FIG. 4, identification information is recorded in an optical disc according to the present invention in frame data units including frame information (FI) of 1 byte, physical address (PID) of 3 bytes, and error detection code (EDC) of 2 bytes. do. A sync signal of 1 byte is recorded in each of the front and rear ends of the frame data.

The frame information FI indicates which of the signal tracks of the mountain or the signal track of the valley is preformatted. In the frame information FI, the most significant bit FIb ₇ is defined as a bit indicating whether or not the frame information FI is useful, and the next bit FIb ₆ indicates whether the current preformatted track is a mountain signal track or a goal track. It is defined as a bit indicating acknowledgment. The remaining six bits (FIb _{5 to} FIb ₀ ) are defined as bits indicating the number of transition information between the signal signal of the hill and the signal track of the valley, for example, the number of frame data remaining up to the transition position of the signal track and the valley of the peak. For example, if the most significant bit FIb ₇ of the frame information FI is '1' and the next higher bit FIb ₆ is '1' (or '0'), the corresponding frame data is frame information, that is, track identification. It indicates that information and information on the remaining number of frame data up to the track transition position are included, indicating that the frame data is recorded on the mountain signal track (or the valley signal track). Also, the frame information FI may be used for recording information other than the frame information. For example, when the most significant bit FIb ₇ is written as '0', it is used for other purposes. Such frame information FI may be stored continuously in every frame data or intermittently in a predetermined number of frame data units.

The optical disc reproducing apparatus detects the frame information FI of the frame data and reads the logical value of the frame information FI to determine whether the currently accessed track is a mountain signal track or a goal signal track. The position of the transition between the signal track of the mountain and the signal track of the valley can be known.

In the frame data, the physical address (PID) indicates the positional information on the disk on which the user data is recorded. The error detection code EDC indicates whether an error of the frame information FI and the physical address PID is used for error correction. The error detection code (EDC) may be recorded as a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) code.

5 shows a synchronization signal for detecting a track transition position of a mountain / gol recording optical disc according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the optical disk according to the present invention has an in-phase wobbling area 24A and an out-of-phase wobbling with a synchronization signal between each of the mountain signal tracks 20 and the valley signal tracks 20, 22. The frame data of the area 24B are alternately arranged, and the synchronization signals 26A and 26B indicating the hill / goal track transition positions are recorded. Information is recorded in the in-phase wobbled area 24A and the in-phase wobbled area 24B based on the physical address (PID) recorded in the wobble form on both sides of the in-phase wobbled area 24A. The synchronization signal is preformatted between the in-phase wobbling area 24A and the out-of-phase wobbling area 24B to distinguish these areas. In addition, the synchronization signals 26A and 26B preformatted on the hill / goal track transition lines indicate the shift position of the hill / goal track as data that is in violation of the Bi-Phase Modulation rule. In other words, in the signal tracks 20 and 22 of the mountain or valley, the pre-synchronization signal 26A or the post-synchronization signal 26B of the start and last in-phase wobbling region 24A is applied. Data that violates the dual phase modulation rule is selected to indicate the transition position of the mountain / goal track. For example, the pre-sync signal 26A or the post-sync signal 26B of the start and last in-phase wobbling area 24A in the mountain or valley signal tracks 20 and 22 are included. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, codes in which the same bit values of '11111111' or '00000000' are in violation of the double phase modulation rule may be recorded.

The information is detected to generate mountain / goal track variation information (L / G). In addition, the recording clock / identification code detector 54 has a pre-synchronization signal (Pre Sync) 26A or a post-synchronization signal (Post Sync) of the start and last in-phase wobbling area 24A on the optical disk 40 as shown in FIG. If the hill / goal track transition information is preformatted in the 26B, the corresponding sync signals 26A and 26B are detected to generate the hill / goal track transition information L / G.
