PROCESS OF PRODUCING A DATA-STORAGE UNIT

摘要

There is provided a data-storage unit, the data being stored thereon in digital format depending upon the presence of translucent or transparent areas in an opaque liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrate. The LCP may preferably comprise a dye. Conversion of the opaque LCP to translucent or transparent form occurs via energy transfer for example through application of a laser beam or electron beam. The data-storage unit may be erasable and re-writable.
