BONDED OPTICAL DISKS AND A METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

A bonded optical disk comprising first and second transparent substrates bonded with a light-permeable, pressure sensitive adhesive layer and at least one information recording layer wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive layer has been formed from a pressure sensitive adhesive precursor, having a viscosity of 10 to 5000 cps and being applied onto at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate by radiation curing and has a gel fraction of not less than 50% and a storage modulus of 1.0x104 to 1.0x107 dyn/cm2 at 25° C., or in place of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer, an adhesive layer derived from a radiation curable adhesive precursor having a viscosity of 500 to 10000 cps, and the adhesive precursor is subjected to a higher pressure than an atmospheric pressure, prior to being irradiated, as well as a method and an apparatus for producing a bonded optical disk.
