Patent EP-1923886-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NUTE ROGER
IPC: G11B7/24
Filed: 2006-11-15
Abstract: The invention relates to an optical recording medium comprising a substrate and a recording layer arranged on one side of the substrate. The optical recording medium has a predetermined clamping area formed such as to achieve a deformation of or a tension in at least a part of the optical recording medium when it is clamped within a recording and/or reproducing device. The deformation or tension preferably results in a change of the relative position of the outer edges of the optical recording medium with respect to the clamping area. In one embodiment, an optical disc has the shape of a cone in an unclamped state and a flat shape in a clamped state. This deformation, occurring during the clamping of the disc, is made through rings or protrusions present on the clamping area of the optical disc. As a result, the optical recording medium may have a thinner thickness in the area of the recording layer (outside of the clamping area) of - for example - only about 0.6 mm or even less. In particular, the thickness T 1  of the optical recording medium in an area outside of the clamping area is in the range between 0.4 to 0.7 mm.
