Optical recording medium

Abstract

A disc-shaped recording medium having transcription characteristics for fine signals simultaneously with resonance characteristics and stiffness which are characteristics contrary to the transcription characteristics. At least a recording layer and a light transmitting layer are sequentially formed on a substrate and light is illuminated from a light transmitting layer side to record and/or reproduce information signals. The substrate includes a core layer formed of a resin composition comprised of a mixture of two or more resin sorts. The resin composition has tanδ, as an index indicating the internal loss, equal to not less than 0.015 as a system in its entirety. The resin composition constituting the core layer is a compounded resin of the incompatible system and is of an islands-sea structure.
