Abstract:
Sub-information necessary for reproduction of main information is recorded on an optical disc without deterioration of reading accuracy of the main information, so that illegal reproduction is prevented. After a concave and convex mark (MK) synchronizing with integer times a channel bit length is formed on optical disc (1) in accordance with modulated main information, a reflective film (IL) is formed on the concave and convex mark (MK). After the optical disc (1) is molded, a continuous or intermittent laser light, which has an interval that is longer than the longest mark in the concave and convex mark (MK) and is synchronous with integer times the channel bit length, is irradiated to the reflective film (IL) which, in turn, changes its chemical characteristic to form a recordable mark, so that the sub-information necessary for reproduction of the main information is recorded in a superimposition manner.
Abstract:
AN INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT INVENTION HAS N INFORMATION STORAGE LAYERS (WHERE N IS AN INTEGER AND N ? 3), ON WHICH DATA CAN BE WRITTEN WITH A LASER BEAM AND WHICH ARE STACKED ONE UPON THE OTHER. EACH OF THE N STORAGE LAYERS HAS A TEST WRITE ZONE FOR DETERMINING THE RECORDING POWER OF THE LASER BEAM. WHEN THOSE N LAYERS ARE COUNTED FROM THE ONE THAT IS LOCATED MOST DISTANT FROM THE SURFACE OF THE MEDIUM ON WHICH THE LASER BEAM IS INCIDENT, THERE IS A BIGGER RADIAL LOCATION DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OUTER PERIPHERAL END OF THE INNER ONE OF THE TEST WRITE ZONES OF iTH AND (i+1)TH INFORMATION STORAGE LAYERS (WHERE i IS AN INTEGER THAT SATISFIES 2 ? i ? N-1) AND THE INNER PERIPHERAL END OF THE OTHER OUTER TEST WRITE ZONE THAN BETWEEN THE OUTER PERIPHERAL END OF THE INNER ONE OF THE TEST WRITE ZONES OF jTH AND (j+1)TH INFORMATION STORAGE LAYERS (WHERE j IS AN INTEGER THAT SATISFIES 1?j? i-1) AND THE INNER PERIPHERAL END OF THE OTHER OUTER TEST WRITE ZONE.
Abstract:
A multi-layered information recording medium comprising a plurality of recording layers, a user data area for recording user data, provided in at least two of the plurality of recording layers, and a defect list storing area for storing a defect list. When at least one defective area is detected in the user data area, the defect list is used to manage the at least one defective area. The defect list storing area is provided in only one of the plurality recording layers.
Abstract:
AN OPTICAL DISK 101 IS OF A TYPE IN WHICH INFORMATION IS RECORDED ON A GROOVE TRACK, AND AN OPTICAL DISK 107 IS OF A TYPE IN WHICH INFORMATION IS RECORDED ON A LAND TRACK. THE OPTICAL DISK 101 HAS A CONTROL DATA AREA 102, AND A DATA RECORDING AREA 103 IN WHICH USER DATA IS RECORDED. THE OPTICAL DISK 107 HAS A CONTROL DATA AREA 108, AND A DATA RECORDING AREA 109 IN WHICH USER DATA IS RECORDED. A CODE FOR INDICATING THE GROOVE TRACK OR THE LAND TRACK ONTO WHICH TRACKING SERVO CONTROL IS EXECUTED IS PROVIDED BOTH IN THE CONTROL DATA AREA 102 OF THE OPTICAL DISK 101, AND IN THE CONTROL DATA AREA 108 OF THE OPTICAL DISK 107.
Abstract:
An information recording medium according to the present invention includes three or more information recording layers. Each of the plurality of information recording layers includes a test recording area usable for adjusting a recording condition. One of the plurality of information recording layers includes a reproduction-only management data area in which management data usable for managing the information recording medium is pre-recorded. One information recording layer includes a recordable management data area in which management data usable for managing the information recording medium is newly writable. Each of the other two or more information recording layers among the plurality of information recording layers includes a test recording area at a radial position overlapping the radial position of a part of the reproduction-only management data area. In the one recording layer including the recordable management data area, the recordable management data area is provided at two positions, i.e., one on the inner side and the other on the outer side to the test recording area.
Abstract:
Provided is an information recording medium which is compatible with a plurality of recording speeds and contains recording conditions of the recording speeds which have been recorded in advance. The recording conditions include: a parameter concerning a recording power for recording at each of the recording speeds and a parameter concerning a recording waveform; and other parameters concerning a recording power for performing a recording at a recording speed other than the aforementioned recording speeds by using a parameter concerning a recording waveform for performing a recording at the recording speed.
