Abstract
A method and apparatus for a compact disc having a luminescent label comprises a compact disc having an annular magnetic surface on a top side thereof, a layer of an opaque adhesive-backed luminescent polyester film coextensive with the magnetic surface directly on top of the magnetic surface, the polyester film having a gauge of approximately 5 mils, a second layer of adhesive, and a display layer coextensive with the luminescent polyester film on top of the luminescent polyester film, the display layer for labeling a tile and/or other indicia of the compact disc.
Claims4
A method of enhancing the reading of a label on a compact disc or other similar data storage media, comprising:
- providing a compact disc having an annular magnetic surface on a top side of thereof for placement of a label, the annular magnetic surface having a particular shape,
- providing an opaque luminescent polyester film having a thickness of between approximately 3 mils and approximately 7 mils, the polyester film having an adhesive layer on one side of said polyester film,
- shaping the polyester film by cutting the polyester film in order to obtain an annular polyester film whose shape corresponds to the shape of the annular magnetic surface,
- placing the annular polyester film over the annular magnetic surface so that the adhesive layer is in contact with the annular magnetic surface and so that the annular polyester film is coextensive with the annular magnetic surface,
- placing a conventional label having an adhesive layer on one side thereof over the annular polyester film so that the conventional label adheres to the annular polyester film, thus forming a luminescent compact disc label, and
- placing the luminescent compact disc label in a dark area, reading the luminescent compact disc label.
A compact disc having a luminescent label, comprising:
- a compact disc, the compact disc having an annular magnetic surface on a top side thereof,
- a first layer of adhesive,
- a layer of an opaque luminescent polyester film coextensive with the magnetic surface directly on top of the magnetic surface, the polyester film having a gauge of between approximately 3 mils and approximately 7 mils, the polyester film in adhering relation to the magnetic surface,
- a second layer of adhesive directly on top of the layer of luminescent polyester film,
- a display layer coextensive with the luminescent polyester film on top of the second layer of adhesive, the display layer for labeling a tile and/or other indicia of the compact disc, the display layer adhered to the luminescent polyester film as a result of the second layer of adhesive.
