Abstract
An optical disc includes a substrate, and a recording layer and transparent layer formed in this order on the substrate. A light is incident from the transparent layer to write and/or read an information signal. The substrate comprises a first resin layer forming a surface of the substrate on which the recording layer is formed, and a second resin layer having a higher flexural modulus is formed on the first resin layer.
