Benefits of technology

[0128]1) Relationship between track pitch / bit pitch and optimal recording power:
[0129]Conventionally, in the case of a principle of recording with a substrate shape change, if a track pitch is narrowed, a “cross-write” or a “cross-erase” occurs, and if bit pitches are narrowed, an inter-code crosstalk occurs. As in the present embodiment, since a principle of recording without a substrate shape change is devised, it becomes possible to achieve high density by narrowing track pitches / bit pitches. In addition, at the same time, in the above described principle of recording, recording sensitivity is improved, enabling high speed recording and multi-layering of a recording film because optimal recording power can be lowly set.
[0130]2) In optical recording with a wavelength of 620 nm or less, an ECC block is composed of a combination of a plurality of small ECC blocks and each item of data ID information in two sectors is disposed in a small ECC block which is different from another:
[0131]According to the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, a local optical characteristic change in a recording layer 3-2 is a principle of recording, and thus, an arrival temperature in the recording layer 3-2 at the time of recording is lower than that in the conventional principle of recording due to plastic deformation of a transparent substrate 2-2 or due to thermal decomposition or gasification (evaporation) of an organic dye recording material. Therefore, a difference between an arrival temperature and a recording temperature in a recording layer 3-2 at the time of playback is small. In the present embodiment, an interleaving process between small ECC blocks and data ID allocation are contrived in one ECC block, thereby improving reproduction reliability in the case where a recording film is degraded at the time of repetitive playback.
[0132]3) Recording is carried out by light having a wavelength which is shorter than 620 nm, and a recorded portion has a higher reflection factor than a non-recording portion:
[0133]Under the influence of absorption spectrum characteristics of a general organic dye material, under the control of light having a wavelength which is shorter than 620 nm, the light absorbance is significantly lowered, and recording density is lowered. Therefore, a very large amount of exposure is required to generate a substrate deformation which is a principle of recording in a conventional DVD-R. By employing an “Low to High (hereinafter, abbreviated to as L-H) organic dye recording material” whose reflection factor is increased more significantly than that of an unrecorded portion in a portion (recording mark) recorded as in the present embodiment, a substrate deformation is eliminated by forming a recording mark using a “discoloring action due to dissociation of electron coupling”, and recording sensitivity is improved.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, an organic dye material which is suitable for a light with a wavelength of 620 nm cannot be used as a recording material for a next generation optical disk.
As described above, a conventional information storage medium using an organic dye material has a disadvantage that it cannot carry out recording / reproduction with light of 620 nm or less in wavelength.
