Abstract
An optical information recording media substrate made of a plane shaped molded object using thermo-plastic resin possessing optical anisotropy. A light beam is condensed in the direction perpendicular to the plane surface, transmitted through the plane surface and led to a recording media surface on which a recording media is formed. The direction of the optic axis of the light beam is set parallel to that of the plane surface to diminish the deterioration of the C/N ratio of the reproduced signal.
Claims5
An optical information recording media substrate comprising:
- a plane shaped article molded from a thermo-plastic resin having optical anisotropic properties, said article including a plane surface, an optical recording media and an optic axis set in a direction approximately parallel to said plane surface, whereby a light beam perpendicular to said plane surface is condensed and transmitted through said plane surface and led to a recording surface formed on said optical recording media.
A method of recording optical information comprising the steps of:
- providing a plane shaped molded thermoplastic resin article having optical anisotropic characteristics plane surface, an optic axis approximately parallel to said plane surface, and an optical recording media plane, providing a light beam, transmitting said light beam in a direction perpendicular to said plane surface of said article, condensing said light beam and transmitting said condensed light beam through said plane surface to a surface of said optical recording media provided therein.
