<p>An optical recording medium includes a substrate, a first protection layer formed on the substrate, a recording layer formed on the first protection layer, a second protection layer formed on the recording layer, and a reflection heat radiating layer formed on the second protection layer. The recording layer is of a phase-change type in which the recording layer is changed from an amorphous state to a crystal state by a temperature raising and cooling process by projecting a laser beam onto the recording layer. The recording layer has an interface portion interfaced with one of the first and second protection layers. The interface portion has a thermal conductivity lower than that of a remaining portion of the recording layer. <IMAGE></p> |
