Multi-layered optical recording medium, information recording method, and information reproduction method

摘要

High-speed and high-density recording of a layer-selected optical disc are enabled with a small number of electrodes. A plurality of recording films that are independently selectable are disposed between a pair of electrodes 3 and 8. The recording films are controlled individually in terms of a threshold of voltage required for coloration and electric characteristics. A desired layer can be selected by changing the voltage applied between the pair of electrodes.
