Optical recording medium

An optical recording medium comprising:

• a first substrate of optically transparent type;
• a first recording layer formed on one surface of said first substrate, said first recording layer having a thickness of 20-150 nm and comprising a phthalocyanine dye of the formula ##STR16## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of --H, --OH, --O CH.sub.3 and ##STR17## and wherein R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of ##STR18## in which R.sub.3 is selected from the group consisting of --H, --Cl and --CH.sub.3 ;
• a second substrate of optically transparent type;
• a second recording layer formed on one surface of said second substrate, said second recording layer having a thickness of 20-150 nm and including said phthalocyanine dye;
• a first elastic body layer formed on a surface of said first recording layer at a side opposite to said first substrate, said first elastic body layer being a silicon polymer having a JIS-A hardness of not more than 30;
• a second elastic body layer formed on a surface of said second recording layer at a side opposite to said second substrate, said second elastic body layer being a silicon polymer having a JIS-A hardness of not more than 30;
• and
• a bonding layer formed between said first elastic body layer and said second elastic body layer.
