Optical recording medium recordable on land and groove tracks

摘要

An optical recording medium having groove tracks and land tracks, first wobbles formed along both sidewalls of each of the groove tracks, second wobbles formed along both sidewalls of each of the land tracks and which are independent of the formation of the first wobble. A middle portion is formed at a predetermined position on each of the sidewalls between adjacent pairs of the land and groove tracks. This optical recording medium can significantly reduce the non-recordable area as compared to conventional optical recording media, resulting in a great improvement in recording density.
