Process of reproducing optical discs and optical discs produced by the same

Abstract

A laminate optical disc which has excellent heat resistance and also has sufficient bond strength. Radiation-curing adhesive layers are formed on a pair of transparent base plates excluding the outermost circumferential portions, respectively, and an ultraviolet-curing resin is applied to the outermost circumferential portion. Then, the pair of transparent base plates are bonded together by the radiation-curing adhesive layers, and also ultraviolet light is irradiated to the ultraviolet-curing resin to fix the base plates firmly to each other along the outermost circumferential portions. In a process for producing a laminate optical disc, radiation-curing adhesive layers are formed respectively on a pair of transparent base plates, and then irradiated with a radiation excluding at least the outermost circumferential portion to be tackified. After the thus treated base plates are bonded together by the radiation-curing adhesive layers, the outermost circumferential portions of these layers are irradiated until they lose tackiness.
