Description

DESCRIPTION
OPTICAL DISC AND ULTRAVIOLET-CURABLE RESIN COMPOSITION
THEREFOR, CURED PRODUCT AND ARTICLE
Technical Field
[0001]
The present invention relates to an optical disc having a recording layer and an ultraviolet-curable resin composition used therefor.
Background Art
[0002]
At present, as a practical optical disc recording medium, there are a CD-R and a
CD-RW where a recording layer, a reflecting layer and a protective layer comprising an ultraviolet-curable resin are laminated on a 1.2 mm polycarbonate substrate; and a
DVD-R, a DVD+R, a DVD-RW, a DVD+RW and a DVD-RAM where a 0.6 mm polycarbonate substrate and a 0.6 mm polycarbonate substrate equipped with a recording layer and a reflecting layer are bonded with an ultraviolet-curable resin.
[0003]
In addition, recently, a Blu-ray disc (BD-R) having a recording capacity about five-times that of a single layer-type DVD has come to market. The Blu-ray disc is a disc having a structure in which a reflecting layer, a recording layer and an interface layer (also referred to as dielectric layer) are formed on a 1.1 mm transparent or opaque plastic substrate and then an about 0.1 mm light transmitting layer (also referred to as cover layer) is laminated on the interface layer, where -recording/reproducing are performed through the light transmitting layer. An organic coloring matter or an inorganic compound is used for the recording layer, and a light transmissive inorganic compound is used for the interface layer. Further, as the light transmitting layer, a cured product layer of an ultraviolet-curable resin is used.
In a Blu-ray disc having a recording layer comprising an organic coloring matter, the recording layer is irradiated with a laserbeam and deformation by volume change of an organic coloring matter is used to perform recording. A light information recording medium characterized in that a light transmissive cover layer is formed from a curing resin and the elastic modulus at 25°C in the interface region facing the recording layer is 40 MPa or less for the purpose of supporting volume change of the coloring matter and of obtaining excellent recording signal characteristics (for example, jitter characteristics) (Patent Literature 1), and a light information recording medium having a resin cured product layer with an elastic modulus of 34 to 96 MPa at 25°C on the recording layer of an organic coloring matter (Patent Literature 2) are proposed. However, in these literatures, there is no disclosure about the composition of the resin composition for the cured product layer to achieve such an elastic modulus.
[0005]
In addition, as an evaluation index of reliability of the above-mentioned optical disc recording medium, an environmental test of leaving under the circumstances of temperature: 80°C/relative humidity: 80% RH for 100 hours is conducted. In order that the deterioration rate of the recording signal before and after this environmental test is within a predetermined range, a technique for forming, on an interface layer, a cured product layer of a curing resin containing flexible urethane acrylate as a main component and monofunctional acrylate as a diluent or a curing resin containing urethane acrylate as a main component and monofunctional acrylate and polyfunctional acrylate as a diluent, where the storage elastic modulus is 100 MPa or less at both 5°C and 55°C and the ratio of the storage elastic modulus at 5°C and the storage elastic modulus at 55°C is 10 or less, is proposed (Patent Literature 3).
However, this literature only discloses, as described above, that the main component is urethane acrylate and that monofunctional acrylate alone is used or monofunctional acrylate and polyfunctional acrylate are used in combination as a diluent, but does not disclose the specific component composition.

[0054] (iii) Recording signal characteristics of Blu-ray disc before and after durability test
The optical disc of the present invention was left under the circumstances of 80°C and 85% RH for 250 hours. Using a Blu-ray disc data signal measuring device: ODU-1000 manufactured by Pulstec Industrial Co., Ltd., recording was carried out at a linear velocity of 4.92 m/s, a reproducing power of 0.30 mW, a recording power of 6.0 mW and T continuous recording (1 T length = 0.08 pm), and recording signal characteristics (jitter value) of the Blu-ray discs were measured before and after durability test and then evaluated in accordance with the below-described criteria. The jitter value is one of the electric signals of an optical disc, a higher numerical value means more deterioration of signal data in a Blu-ray disc, and 10% or more leads to difficulty in reading and writing data.
Evaluation of jitter value
O- Jitter value is less than 10.0%.
Xx Jitter value is 10.0% or more.
[0055] (iv) Measurement of elastic modulus of resin cured product layer of the present invention

Measurement based on JIS K 7244-5. That is, a coating film was formed of the resin composition of the present invention so that the thickness after curing was 1 mm, and cured at an integrated light amount of 1 J/cm? using a Fusion lamp D bulb, and then a sample piece having a length of 5 cm, a width of 1 cm, and a thickness of 1 mm was made, and the measurement was carried out by a viscoelasticity measuring device
DMS 6100 manufactured by SII NanoTechnology Inc. The measurement was carried out in bending mode and in the range of -50°C to 200°C under the conditions of an amplitude load of 10 mN, a frequency of 1 Hz and a temperature rising rate of 2°C/ minute. (v)} Measurement of transmittance of Blu ray (light around 400 nm)
Using each resin composition obtained in the above-described Examples 1 to 3, each sample having a film thickness after curing of 100 pm for light transmittance measurement was made, and using a spectrophotometer (U-3310, manufactured by
Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation), the absorbance of light at 405 nm for each sample was measured to determine the light transmittance. Any of the samples had a light transmittance of 85% or more.
[0056]
From the results in Table 1, it is found that the resin compositions of the present invention of Examples 1 and 2 which contain a (meth)acrylate having a structure represented by the general formula (1) had good recording signal characteristics before and after the durability test.
