Description
- This application is a divisional application of pending of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/812,931, filed Mar. 31, 2004 (of which the entire disclosure of the pending, prior application is hereby incorporated by reference).
- The present invention relates to materials for high density optical recording media, to optical recording media comprising said materials as a recording layer, and to a process for the preparation thereof.
- Recordable optical recording media have been developed since 1980s. Said media mainly comprise a substrate, a recording layer, a reflective layer and a protective layer. At present, the organic materials suitable for the recording layer of recordable optical recording media, such as compact disks (often referred to as CD-R) comprise cyanine dyes, phthalocyanine dyes and azo dyes and the likes. These dyes commonly have a maximal absorption at a wavelength of 650 nm to 750 nm in the visible light range. As a major function, the dyes absorb a laser beam of 780 nm and then convert it into thermal energy, such that the recording layer changes in its optical characteristics to fulfil the reflectance requirements as set forth in the specification of the compact disks (Red Book). In view thereof, organic materials having a major light absorption at a wavelength outside the wavelength range of the laser beam are needed for the recording layer of the optical recording media.
- Therefore, since 1990s, in order to satisfy the trend of continuous data expansion, all the major CD manufacturers make efforts at the improvements of the recording density of the CDs. To that end, the spaces between the pits and between the tracks are decreased and, in the meantime, the laser beams for reading signal are narrowed to avoid the signal cross-talk between the tracks and to raise the discriminated ratio of track length. As a result, almost all the current developments are concentrated on the laser beams with wavelengths of 635 nm to 660 nm.
- According to the current developmental trend of the optical recording media, organic materials for the recordable optical recording media used at laser beams with 650 nm preferably has a light absorption at a wavelength of from 540 nm to 600 nm.
- In general, one of the common materials for recording layers in the application of optical recording media is a cyanine dye. However, owing to the poor light resistance and the storage difficulty of said cyanine dye, metal chelate compounds of azo dyes having superior light- and weather resistance are suitable for recording layer. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,532,342 discloses an azo metal chelate compound formed from a sulfonylphenyl-based azo compound and a variety of metal ligands, which may be applied to optical recording media, whereby a recording layer having an absorption wavelength of from 700 nm to 730 nm may be prepared.
- Therefore, the objective of the present invention is to provide metal chelate compounds of azo dyes having absorption at a shorter wavelength, which may be served as materials of a recording layer in optical recording media, particularly the recording layer of high density optical recording media.
- The objective of the present invention is to provide materials for high density recording media. Specifically, the present invention is to provide metal chelate compounds of azo dyes, which are served as materials of a recording layer in optical recording media. Particularly, said compounds are served as a recording layer of optical recording media having an optical storage system at a wavelength range of from 635 nm to 660 nm.
- The further objective of the present invention is to provide high density optical recording media comprising a recording layer and a reflective layer successively positioned onto a substrate in order, which is characterized in that the recording layer is formed from metal chelate compounds of azo dyes according to the present invention.
- The further objective of the present invention is to provide a process for the preparation of said high density optical recording media.
- According to the present invention, the organic materials for the recording layer in optical recording media are metal chelate compounds of azo dyes represented by the following formula (I),

Preferably, the basic structural unit contains meta diaminophenyl compounds with sulfamoylation on monoamino group, and a benzene ring-containing azo compound.
- According to the present invention, the compounds of formula (I) for a recording layer may be prepared by synthetic methods.
- According to the present invention, the high density optical recording media comprise a reflective layer and a recording layer, characterized in that the recording layer in optical recording media is formed from the compounds of formula (I).
- According to the present invention, the optical recording media are prepared by a process comprising the steps as below:
- A round disc-shaped polymer substrate (such as polycarbonate substrate) having an outer diameter of from 110 to 130 mm (preferably 120 mm), an inner diameter of from 10 to 20 mm (preferably 15 mm) and a thickness of from 0.3 to 1 mm (preferably 0.6 mm), is produced by an injection molding machine. In the meantime, the substrate is printed with continuous spiral grooves having a depth of from 150 to 180 nm, a half-height width of from 340 to 380 nm and a bottom width of from 260 to 280 nm via a stamper.

- After coating the dye solution onto the recording layer, the absorption of the layer determined by UV-visible spectroscopy at th maximal absorption wavelength is in a range of from 0.7 to 0.8. The coated substrate is then baked at a temperature of 60 to 80□ for 10 to 20 minutes to evaporate off solvents completely.
- Subsequently, the recording layer coated with dyes is then sputtered with a layer of 100 to 160 nm thickness of metal reflective layer, preferably 120-150 nm, more preferably 120 nm gold reflective layer.
