Abstract
Optical information media having a support substrate and an inorganic nanomaterial data layer are disclosed. The data layer provides enhanced stability and optical performance as compared to conventional data layers.
Claims22
An optical information medium, comprising:
- at least one support substrate;
- and
- at least one data layer comprising at least one inorganic nanomaterial.
An optical information medium comprising:
- a polycarbonate, fused silica, or glass support substrate;
- and
- a data layer comprising at least one core-shell semiconductor quantum dot.
A method for preparing an optical information medium, the method comprising:
- providing a support substrate;
