Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to optical discs capable being written such as DVD-R, DVD-RW and the like and particularly to an optical disc suitable for recording data signals at a high density.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- There have been known as optical information recording mediums such as an optical disc on which information signals may be written by irradiation of a laser beam, utilizing a dye recording layer or phase changing recording layer.
- In such optical discs, for example, grooves2 a to 2 c are concentrically or helically provided on a transparent
circular substrate 1 of an optical disc about the center thereof, as shown in FIG. 2. Lands 3 a to 3 c are disposed between grooves 2 a to 2 c. Prepits 4 a to 4 c are arranged on the center line thereof with a given interval. The prepits correspond to, for example, address information signals and the like. - In this case, the prepit pairs with the adjacent groove positioned at the inner peripheral side (which is directed by an arrow in the figure) in such a manner that prepits4 a to 4 c correspond to grooves 2 a to 2 c respectively. In addition, a recording layer, a reflecting layer, a protective layer and the like are layered in turn on the surface of the
transparent substrate 1 on which the grooves are formed. - In the writing operation of the optical disc, data is written in
groove 2 b, while for example alight beam spot 5 is controlled to trace out thegroove 2 b so that address information signals and the like due to cross-talk caused byprepit 4 b are read out. Similarly, in the reading-out operation of the optical disc, recorded data is read out from thegroove 2 b, while for example alight beam spot 5 is controlled to trace out thegroove 2 b so that address information signals and the like due to cross-talk caused byprepit 4 b are read out. - Whereas, although the recording density may be improved by reducing the track pitch in the optical disc, the reduction of the track pitch brings a problem that cross-talk caused by prepit other adjacent tracks increases i.e., prepit signals of the adjacent tracks leak out.
- For example as shown in FIG. 2, when
light beam spot 5tracks groove 2 b to reproduce the recorded information signals,light beam spot 5 is irradiated onto not only prepit 4 b of the outer peripheral side but also prepit 4 a for the adjacent track positioned at the inner peripheral side. In this case, prepit of the adjacent track i.e., prepit 4 a is positioned at the inner peripheral side of thetracking groove 2 b generates cross-talk, so that the quality of reproduced signals of data record ingroove 2 b is reduced, and at the same time, it may be difficult to read out address information signals reproduced fromprepit 4 b of the outer peripheral side. - The present invention has been made in view of the problem mentioned above, and its object is to provide an optical disc capable of reducing cross-talk from adjacent tracks and improving the density of recorded data.
- An optical disc according to the present invention comprises;
- a substrate;
- grooves concentrically or helically formed on said substrate in each of which data is recorded;
- lands defined between the adjacent grooves; and
- prepits formed on said lands, wherein each of said prepits is disposed to be shifted from a center line of said land toward a groove to be paired without overlapping with adjacent tracks.
- According to the optical disc of the invention, any unwanted influence of cross-talk does not suffer from the adjacent prepit in the inner peripheral side, since each prepit is disposed to be shifted from the center line of the land toward a groove to be paired without overlapping adjacent tracks.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view enlarged partly showing a recording surface of an optical disc of an embodiment according to the invention; and
- FIG. 2 is a plan view enlarged partly showing a recording surface of an conventional optical disc.
- An embodiment of the present invention will now be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 1 explains an embodiment of an optical disc according to the invention in which the arrangement of prepits and light beam spots irradiated for reproducing recorded signals.
- The optical disc according to the invention comprises a circular
transparent substrate 10 on which grooves are concentrically or helically formed about the center thereof. The grooves 20 a to 20 c each having a width W ranging 0.4 μm≧W≧0.1 μm are formed with a track pitch P ranging 1.0 μm≧P≧0.3 μm. Each of lands 30 a to 30 c is defined between theadjacent grooves 20. - Each of lands30 a to 30 c has one or more prepits 40 a to 40 c each having an emboss shape (phase structure) at a given interval. The prepit pairs with the adjacent groove positioned at the inner peripheral side (which is directed by an arrow in the figure) in such a manner that prepits 40 a to 40 c correspond to grooves 20 a to 20 c respectively.
- Each of prepits40 a to 40 c is formed to be shifted toward the inner peripheral side with respect to the
center line 31 ofland 30 so that the adjacent track does not overlap with any non-paired prepit. Namely, each prepit is disposed near thegroove 20 to be paired. The distance A from thecenter line 21 ofgroove 20 to the center line ofprepit 40 is set with respect to the track pitch P in such a manner that the following inequality relationship is satisfied: - 0<A<P/2.
- The lands30 a to 30 c are provided with recesses or coves due to prepits 40 a to 40 c at the inner peripheral sides respectively. Namely prepits 40 a to 40 c are formed as round notches at the inner peripheral sides of the lands. The prepits 40 a to 40 c are disposed in such a manner that, when the
light beam spot 50 for recording or reproducing data is tracked along with, for example,groove 20 b and thelight beam spot 50 runs on thegroove 20 b in the peripheral direction i.e., track direction, a region irradiated by thelight beam spot 50 includesprepit 40 b to be paired with theadjacent land 30 b at the outer peripheral side, but not prepit 40 a of the adjacent land 30 a at the inner peripheral side. - In addition to that the
prepit 40 pairs off thegroove 20 of the inner peripheral side thereof and thus is shifted toward the inner peripheral side with respect to the central position of theland 30, theprepit 40 may be formed at a position shifted toward the outer peripheral side with respect to the central position of theland 30 when theprepit 40 pairs off thegroove 20 of the outer peripheral side thereof. - In case that the optical disc according to the invention is for example a phase changing type optical disc, a first dielectric layer, a phase changing recording layer, a second dielectric layer, and a metal reflecting layer are layered in turn in this order on the surface of the
transparent substrate 10 on which groove 20 andprepits 40 are previously formed by the sputtering method. In addition, a UV curable resin fluid is spin-coated on the metal reflecting layer and hardened by the UV irradiation, so that a protective layer made of a UV curable resin is formed. - Two of such phase changing type optical discs with a protective layer are prepared, and then adhered to each other at protective layer sides while aligned at the centers thereof. In this way a double sided optical disc may be manufactured.
- Next, there is described the operations of writing and reading data onto the optical disc according to the present invention.
- The
light beam spot 50 is traced along forexample groove 20 b and then readsprepit 40 b which is previously formed as one of sync. pits indicating a position of starting for the sector information or one of address pits carrying the sector information including address information signals, the and then thelight beam spot 50 writes the corresponding data on thegroove 20 b. - In this time, the
light beam spot 50 can perfectly reads data fromprepit 40 b without influenced by the cross-talk due to prepit 40 a of the adjacent track at the inner peripheral side, because the distance A from thecenter line 21 ofgroove 20 to the center line ofprepit 40 is previously set with respect to the track pitch P in such a manner that the expression of inequality 0<A<P/2 is satisfied , as above mentioned. - In addition, the quality of signals the written data in
groove 20 b is not deteriorated ion, becauselight beam spot 50 does not pass over prepit 40 a of the adjacent track at the inner peripheral side even thoughlight beam spot 50 follows thegroove 20 b and reads address information signals and the like from the cross-talk due to prepit 40b prepit 40 b. - On the other had, the
groove 20 is formed as a wobbling groove to meander periodically on the disc across the radial direction thereof so as to carry a wobbling signal with a single frequency. By using the wobbling signal reproduced from the wobbling groove, the optical disc is controlled in its rotation. - In the case that the recording or reproducing of data is preformed for the optical disc, the position of the
light beam spot 50 on the optical disc is controlled on the basis of the positional information detected fromprepit 40 of theland 30 while the optical disc is controlled in its rotation by using the wobbling signal detected from the wobbling groove. - As described above, according to the optical disc of the present invention, each of the prepits is disposed to be shifted from a center line of the land toward a groove to be paired without overlapping adjacent tracks. Thus, an optical disc capable of reducing cross-talk from adjacent tracks and improving the density of recorded data is obtained.
