Abstract:
1. A method for transporting a multi-layered disc, in a process to make an optical disc, the method comprising: providing a transporting apparatus comprising a fixer with a claw; forming the multi-layer disc, wherein the multi-layer disc includes an information recording layer is formed between a disc substrate and a transparent cover layer thinner than the disc substrate, and the cover layer is formed by adhering a sheet, which sheet is transparent, to the disc substrate by an adhesive; inserting the fixer through a center hole of the disc substrate to couple the claw with the lower surface of the disc substrate; and lifting and transporting the multi-layered disc with the claw coupled to the lower surface of the disc substrate but not on an upper surface of the multi-layered disc substrate, such that a loading weight of the multi-layered disc is supported by the transporting apparatus, wherein the transporting occurs in a state where the sheet is loaded onto the disc substrate through the adhesive while the adhesive is in an uncured state.
