SEMI-PERMANENT ENCLOSURE FOR OPTICAL DATA STORAGE DEVICE

摘要

A semi permanent enclosure for an optical data storage device has a first film dimensioned to overlie the read surface of the optical data storage device and a second film dimensioned to overlie the non-read surface of the optical data storage device. The enclosure includes a rim arrangement having an L-shaped cross-section extending around the periphery of the optical data storage device. The first film may have an optical couplant on the surface thereof destined for attachment to the optical data storage device. The optical couplant preferably has a refractive index compatible with that of the optical data storage device to minimize losses and distortion of signals. The optical couplant may also be used with the second film.
