Abstract

A disk-shaped optical information recording medium comprising a recording layer, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer or an adhesive layer, and a cover sheet in this order on a substrate, and having a central hole, a track pitch of 300 to 600 nm and a groove depth of 40 to 150 nm, for recording and playing back information by being irradiated with a laser light at a wavelength of 500 nm or less, wherein the substrate and the cover sheet are closely adhered via the pressure sensitive adhesive layer or the adhesive layer at a region including a portion of an inner circumference vicinity and an outer circumference vicinity, and the maximum value for the radial length of the closer adhesion region is at least 0.4 mm.

Claims (9)

1. A disk-shaped optical information recording medium comprising a recording layer, a barrier layer, at least one of a pressure sensitive adhesive layer and an adhesive layer, and a cover sheet in this order on a substrate, and having a central hole, a track pitch of 250 to 400 nm and a groove depth of 10 to 150 nm, the recording medium for recording and playing back information by being irradiated with a laser light at a wavelength of no more than 500 nm,

wherein the barrier layer surrounds at least one of an outer circumferential edge and an inner circumferential edge of the recording layer.

2. A disk-shaped optical information recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the barrier layer is formed to the outer circumferential edge of the substrate.

3. A disk-shaped optical information recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate and the cover sheet are closely adhered via the at least one of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer and the adhesive layer at a region, which includes an inner circumference vicinity and an outer circumference vicinity.

4. A disk-shaped optical information recording medium according to claim 3 , wherein a maximum value for a radial length of the region, at which the substrate and the cover sheet are closely adhered, is at least 0.4 mm.

5. A disk-shaped optical information recording medium according to claim 1 , further comprising a reflection layer between the substrate and the recording layer.

6. A disk-shaped optical information recording medium according to claim 5 , wherein the reflection layer and the cover sheet are closely adhered via the at least one of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer and the adhesive layer at a region, which includes at least a portion of an inner circumference vicinity and an outer circumference vicinity.

7. A disk-shaped optical information recording medium according to claim 6 , wherein a maximum value for a radial length of the region, at which the reflection layer and the cover sheet are closely adhered, is at least 0.4 mm.

8. A disk-shaped optical information recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the difference between the outer circumferential diameter of the barrier layer and the outer circumferential diameter of the recording layer is from 0.4 to 4 mm and the difference between the inner circumferential diameter of the barrier layer and the inner circumferential diameter of the recording layer is from 0.4 to 15 mm.
