Record carrier in disk form having cover layers

摘要

The invention relates to a disk-shaped record carrier, for example a video plate, which is provided on one side or on both sides with a radiation-reflecting surface structure in the form of an information track consisting of blocks and pits on which a reflecting layer of metal is provided. The plate can be read optically. According to the invention the reflecting metal layer is provided with a cover layer which is formed by a transparent plate which is connected to the metal surface by means of a radiation-curable lacquer. The lacquer is preferably a U.V. curing lacquer and contains a protic mixture of acrylic acid esters. The transparent plate is also preferably manufactured from a transparent synthetic resin and has a thickness of 200 mu m.
