Optical recording medium

Abstract

Disclosed is an optical recording medium with a uniform optical information recording layer that resists deformation, thereby attaining excellent recording and reproducing characteristics, great productivity, and handling ease. This optical recording medium includes two light transmitting substrates, and an optical information recording layer to which information is to be recorded with recording light and which is formed between the light transmitting substrates. Moreover, a thickness of the optical information recording layer is at least 100 μm, the Young's modulus of the optical information recording layer ranges from 1000 MPa to 30000 MPa, and each of the light transmitting substrates has a thickness ranging from 50 μm to 1500 μm.
