Abstract:
1. An optical disc image drawing method comprising: providing an optical disc image drawing apparatus, a computer, a display, and an optical disc in which a visible image can be drawn onto a surface thereof; loading the optical disc onto the optical disc image drawing apparatus; transmitting image data of the visible image to be drawn on the optical disc from the computer to the optical disk image drawing apparatus, sequentially; while the optical disk image drawing apparatus receives the image data transmitted from the computer, rotating the optical disc by the optical disk image drawing apparatus, moving an optical head in a disc diameter direction, modulating a laser beam to be output from the optical head in accordance with the received image data, and irradiating the modulated laser beam onto the optical disc to draw the visible image corresponding to the image data, sequentially; acquiring the total amount of the transmitted data and calculating a position corresponding to the acquired total data amount in the disc diameter direction at which a drawing operation is currently performed while the computer transmits the image data to the optical disc image drawing apparatus, sequentially; and displaying a picture of the entire drawing image on the display so that the calculated position at which the drawing operation is currently performed can be visually recognized, sequentially.
