Method for producing optical information-recording medium and optical information-recording medium

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for producing a heat mode type optical information-recording medium having, on a substrate, a dye recording layer capable of recording information by being irradiated with a laser beam, the method comprising the step of applying a dye solution for forming the dye recording layer onto the substrate while rotating the substrate, wherein a period of time, which ranges from a point of time at which application of the dye solution is started to a point of time at which a valve is fully open, is not less than 0.1 second. In order to satisfy this condition, the opening degree of a first speed controller is not less than 5% and not more than 50%. Accordingly, the opening speed of the valve of a valve apparatus is not less than 5% and not more than 50% with respect to the maximum speed.
