Substrates for optical cards, process for preparing substrates for optical cards, optical cards and apparatus for recording and reproducing information on optical cards.

摘要

A substrate for an optical card having tracking grooves in a stripe form formed on the surface of an extrusion-molded thermoplastic resin sheet is characterized in that the direction of the tracking grooves is in parallel to the extrusion direction of the thermoplastic resin sheet, and the recording or reproduction using the optical card is characterized by that the optical card is bent and reciprocally moved along the direction of tracking grooves. <IMAGE>
