Definitions

  • the invention relates to a writable, optical storage medium, in particular in the form of a single or multiple writable compact disk (CD) with a specific carrier layer.
  • a writable, optical storage medium in particular in the form of a single or multiple writable compact disk (CD) with a specific carrier layer.
  • Conventional writable optical storage media in particular CD-Rs, in which the data is recorded and read using laser light, are made up of a transparent support, a recording layer made of a metal such as e.g. Te, Bi or Mn or a dye such as e.g. a cyanine, merocyanine, phthalocyanine or azo dye, a metallic reflection layer and optionally a protective layer.
  • the data is recorded by irradiating laser light through the transparent support.
  • the recording layer is deformed, sublimed, evaporated or modified at the irradiated points, so that depressions are formed if necessary.
  • a free space is often also formed between the recording layer and the adjacent layer.
  • a reflective metal layer made of Au, Ag, Al or Cu and, in turn, a protective layer are usually applied to the writable layer.
  • the reading is carried out by irradiation with a laser light of lower energy, also through the transparent support.
  • the contrast between the light reflected by the depressions and the light reflected by the other parts of the storage medium is read as an electrical signal.
  • Usual non-writable CDs do not have any of the writable layers listed above, but only depressions corresponding to the data to be played back, which are already formed on the carrier, e.g. through press molding. Apart from that, the structure is relatively similar.
  • CD-Rs A problem with known CD-Rs is the relatively high sensitivity of the recording layer. Exposure to heat and radiation can lead to the recording layer changing and the CD-Rs being no longer writable and / or no longer readable. So some manufacturers give that Recommendation not to expose CD-Rs to direct sunlight. Device manufacturers advise not to play CD-Rs in DVD players, as it is feared that the shorter wavelength of the laser used in the DVD player could damage the CD-Rs. The stored information can then only be read incorrectly, which are measured with the aid of electronic test equipment and 'r-rate is specified as a block Erro among others.
  • the block error rate summarizes the total number of incorrect information blocks and should be as small as possible. If the block error rate exceeds 220, the data carrier does not meet specifications.
  • the block error rate is determined with a CD test player. For more information see W. Schild "Errors from the player, errors from the record", from Funkschau 23/1988. It is also possible that the CD-Rs have been changed so much that they can no longer be read or written to.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide writable optical storage media and in particular writable CDs, which have improved stability and thus durability.
  • a writable optical storage medium which comprises a protective layer, one or more writable layers, optionally a light-reflecting layer and at least one carrier layer, and which is characterized in that the carrier layer contains at least one dye so that it has a transmission of at least 70% for the wavelength of the laser used for writing and / or reading and for all other wavelengths of visible light which are at least 100 nm shorter than the wavelength of the laser light has an absorption of at least 70% .
  • the carrier layer preferably contains at least two dyes, particularly preferably three dyes, in order to obtain the desired absorption characteristic.
  • the dye (s) is preferably selected from the group of the anthraquinone and pyrazolone dyes.
  • Makrolexgelb 3G® pyrazolone dye, Color Index, Part 1: Solvent Yellow 93
  • Makrolexrot 5B® anthraquinone dye, Color Index, Part 1, Solvent Red 52, Part 2 No. 68210
  • Hytherm Blue E® anthraquinone dye, Color Index Part 1 Solvent Blue 101
  • the material for the backing layer is not critical, there are no specific restrictions.
  • the carrier layer consists of material usually used for optical storage media and in particular CD-Rs, in particular of the polymers transparent for the laser light used for writing and / or reading, such as poly (co) carbonates, polymethyl methacrylates, poly-4-methylpentene-1, amorphous cyclic polyolefins, polyesters, epoxy resins, polyacrylates, in particular poly (co) carbonate is used. It can have information signals in the form of depressions and / or control signals and / or guide grooves, i.e. it can be an optionally formatted carrier with or without information signals.
