RECORDING MEDIUM FOR OPTICAL DATA STORAGE DEVICES, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAID RECORDING MEDIUM AND OPTICAL DATA STORAGE DEVICE WITH A CORRESPONDING RECORDING LAYER

摘要

Recording medium contains a cationic dye or a mixture of cationic dye having optical properties that can be changed by an ink jet and a substance with a quenching function, and additionally a phenol or substituted phenol with one or more hydroxy groups as stabilizer. An Independent claim is also included for a process for the production of optical data storage devices comprising forming a recording medium on a support using a spin-on process, removing the solvent from the recording medium, applying a metal layer as reflecting layer onto the recording layer by sputtering, and covering the metal layer with a protective lacquer. The metal layer is made of gold, silver or aluminum.
