Definitions
- the present invention relates to double sided compact disc systems having a pit optical track structure.
- the invention relates to a method and apparatus for bonding together two thin compact discs to form a flat double sided disc in an assembly line manufacturing system. It also relates to bonding a thin compact disc to a thin plastic disc in order to provide greater strength to the composite.
- Plastic discs having a pit optical track structure are well known as compact discs.
- Double sided discs in which information is recorded on two sides of such a structure formed by binding two compact discs and apparatus for playing such discs is also well known, as in U.S. patents 4,903,140; 4,939,011; 5,097,465; 4,811,324.
- U.S. patents 5,284,538 and 5,378,517 it is also known from U.S. patents 5,284,538 and 5,378,517 that it is advantageous to bring the two disc portions together at an angle in order to facilitate bonding.
- compact disc as used in this, application includes any disc shaped recorded medium having pits and lands forming an optical track structure on a data information recording planar surface.
- the information stored as pits and lands is digital information, analog information, or information of a graphic or holographic nature.
- Examples of the different types of information storage are as follows : Digital information may be encoded into the pits and lands as pits of guantized lengths interpretable as a stream of digital data, wherein the length of each pit or land segment may be, for example, related to the number of l's or O's in a data stream.
- An example of such a system is the compact disc ("CD”) audio or video disc.
- Analog information may be encoded into the pits and lands as pit lengths that may vary over a continuum of values, wherein the length of each pit or land segment may be, for example, related to a voltage level in a desired output.
- An example of such a system is the laser disc video recording system.
- Graphics may be placed on the surface of a disc by employing the light reflection properties of pitted surfaces that are visible to the unaided eye.
- holographic information may be stored in a pit/land format, particularly where it is possible to vary the pit depth to create reflection interference patterns that are visible as a holographic image viewable by the unaided eye.
- In-line manufacturing systems are utilized for mass producing copies of compact discs. These systems are capable of producing a compact disc every few seconds once a master disc has been produced.
- the process employs injection molding, vacuum metalizing, electroplating printing and if required, protective lacquer coating stages and robotic mechanisms for moving the discs from station to station.
- Thin discs enable the encoding of data using reduced pit dimensions. Where a thin disc is produced it is necessary to provide additional thickness by bonding a plastic surface to the compact disc even where the plastic surface is not a compact disc in the sense that it does not separately encode data.
- the composite must remain its planarity in order to be readable, and the bonding material must be applied uniformly and completely across the surfaces to be bonded.
- the two surfaces may arrive at the bonding station at different temperatures, reflecting different lengths of time since heat generating processed. It is therefore necessary to compensate for these temperature differences so that a deformation of the bonded structure does not occur as the double sided disc achieves a uniform temperature and thereby to avoid a potato chip shape for the resulting composite disc.
- a composite formed by bonding that has either one or two information bearing surfaces will be referred to as a double sided compact disc.
- the present invention is an in-line system for fabricating a double sided compact disc by bonding together an information bearing surface, referred to as compact disc, to a second surface that may or not be information bearing and resulting in a flat composite capable of being read at high data density.
- the composite is called a double sided compact disc.
- the in-line system comprises a prestressing station, a bonding station (where adhesive is applied) and optionally an off-loading carousel station. The bonding station and the prestressing station may be combined into one station.
- the main element for the purposes of this invention is the prestressing station, whose action is designed to prevent the double sided compact disc from assuming a non-planar potato-chip shape, i.e. a saddle or hyperb ⁇ loid shape, as the result of differential cooling of the two joined surfaces.
- the prestressing station comprises a bonding pre-press means for deforming at least one of the surfaces depending upon the temperature difference between the surfaces.
- the pre-press means comprises an adjustable spacer for maintaining an adjustable separation between symmetrical arcuate portions of the outer circumference of surfaces of the composite and a moveable chuck for causing the surfaces to b ear against the spacer.
- This adjustable spacer comprises two opposing spacer arms that comprise wedge shaped portions for entry between the edges of the surfaces and for maintaining a separation of at least the outermost edges of said surfaces .
- Th e moveable chuck, together with an associated platform forms a disc displacement means for moving the centers of the two information bearing surfaces orthogonal to the plane of t h e surfaces, and a stop means for limiting the minimum displacement of said disc displacement means .
- the off loading carousel station receives the completed double sided discs .
- Figure 1 depicts a cross section of a double sided compact disc produced by the present invention .
- Figure 2 depicts the in-line system of the present invention for producing double sided compact discs .
- Figure 3 depicts the bonding pre-press station of the present invention.
- Figure 4 depicts a pre-press station during the deformation of on surface of a double sided compact disc .
- Fig. 1 depicts a cross section of a portion of double sided compact disc 1 formed from first and second information bearing surfaces 2. and £.
- Each information bearing surface is formed by depositing upon a pattern of pits and lands 2 a metallic reflective coating &.
- the pattern of pits and lands, which encodes the data on the information bearing surface is first formed by injecting molten transparent polycarbonate plastic into a mold cavity, with a stamper on one face to produce a clear plastic disc with pits impressed on one side. Great care is taken to insure that the resulting opposing clear plastic surface 2. is planar.
- the opposite side of the half disc need not be transparent and is filled with a material H to protect the metallic surface 12.
- the composite of the present invention is preferably fabricated from surfaces having a thickness of 0.6 mm resulting in a composite having a thickness of about 1.2 mm.
- the 0.6 mm compact disc offers several advantages over the 1.2 mm format, particularly in the field of high data density optical discs in which data is recorded in a spiral track of alternating pits and lands .
- Laser light returned to a reading head by such pits and lands is viewed through an optically flat side of the compact disc. Some bending of the light received from a pit or land occurs at the surface of the polycabonate surface of the compact disc.
- a thinner compact disG enables the reading laser to employ a smaller spot size and the lenses of the reading head to have a higher numerical aperture when used to readout a pattern of pits and lands.
- the readout the data from such thinner compact discs uses laser light with a smaller wavelength than was used for the 1.2 mm discs. This has entailed a wavelength change from 780 nm to approximately 650 nm or less. Thus, the readout of a higher density of pits and lands, and therefore of more data per disc, is possible with the thinner optical discs.
- the typical improvement is from 650 megabits of data to 5 giga-bits.
- Figure 2 depicts a portion of the in-line manufacturing system for double sided compact discs.
- the two discs 2. and 5_ that form a pair to be bonded travel together upon disc transport belts 21.
- One disc 5_ from the pair is brought into a prestressing station 22..
- Figure 3 shows in greater detail the construction of the prestressing station. It comprises a platform 12 and paired displacement wedges ⁇ alternately displaced around a chuck spindle 21 which engages the central hole in a compact discs 2 and 5..
- Disc 2. need not be an information bearing disc.
- the spindle 21 and the platform 12 may be raised and lowered with respect to the displacement wedges 12 by the lifting a.rm 21 that is in turn supported on the vertical lifting device 22.
- the upper extent of motion of the lifting arm is limited by a micrometer stop 23..
- Figures 4a-4c show a portion of the prestressing station with the central spindle 21 in different positions with respect to the displacement wedges 12 thereby causing the edges of the compact disc 5_ in contact with the wedges 12 to be lifted to different degrees relative to the central hole of the disc.
- at least one of the compact discs 5. is no longer planar, but has assumed a form which is a portion of the surface of a cylinder whose axis, if depicted in Figure 4 would be coming out of the plane of the paper and would be above the disc surface.
- Figure 4a shows a configuration that is preferred if the two discs are similar both in construction and in temperature.
- Figure 4b shows a preferred configuration when the bottom disc is warmer.
- Figure 4c shows a preferred configuration when the bottom disc is colder. In each configuration it is assumed that a bonding material has already been placed on the
- the deformation of the compact disc which is termed pre-stressing, in fact not change the distance along any of the data paths on the surface of the compact disc since those distances encode the information on the disc or that if any deformation is caused that it be undone when the disc is returned to a planar form during bonding.
- a deformation that introduces curvature into the disc surface without stretching is preferred.
- the present invention makes use of the fact that the surface of the compact disc can be deformed without altering the content of the data stored therein.
- Deformations of a planar surface without stretching are possible.
- the deformation of a plane does not result in stretching when at each point of the deformed surface a straight line lies in the surface.
- This condition is satisfied if the deformation results in a cylindrical deformation. It would not be satisfied, for example, if the disc were deformed upwards all around its lip into a spherical cap.
- the selection of opposing 'wedges, which results in a cylindrical deformation of the surface is preferred. This will result in no change in the distance measured along the disc between any two points on the disc and therefore will not change any of the information encoded onto the disc.
- the retractable spacers 12 may have their position relative to the axis of the chuck 21 controlled by spacer advancers 21- This position may be controlled by advancing threads 23. tapped into the spacer advancer.
- Figures 5a-5f show a sequence of steps during the bonding operation.
- one disc for simplicity only half of the disc is shown in the figure
- the spacer 19 is brought to a correct position with respect to spindle 21.
- the platform 12 ia then brought to a correct position with respect to spacer 12 by raising , the platform to an appropriate height.
- the figure shows the correct positioning for a situation such as is depicted in Figure 4a where it is desired to have an equal deformation of both discs.
- a robotic mechanism 21 places the upper disc in place on the spindle as shown in Fig. 5c and bears down to deform the upper disc ( if necessary) against the spacer.
- the stops are then removed ( as in Fig.
- the cylindrical curvature of the discs £ aids in the flow of the bonding material as the disc surfaces are pressed together by their natural elasticity and the removal of the wedges. In this regard it is found that an angle of about 5° between the discs is optimum.
- the 5 3 is the arc tangent of the spacer thickness divided by the radius of the disc.
- the curvature of one of the discs has a further benefit. Since the discs may initially have different temperatures, it is necessary to accommodate some sliding of one surface over the other during the bonding process as the two discs reach the same temperature. This sliding is due to the expansion of one disc relative to the other. The curvature of the disc facilitates such sliding since the full surface area of contact starts from an initial value and gradually increases as the surfaces are brought together. Thus the sliding forces are relatively small and more easily accommodated by the discs.
- the spacer advancer 21 be automatically adjustable for temperature differences.
