The optical recording medium is a hybrid disc having both the read-only storage area, which is suitable for mass production of information having the same contents, and the writable storage area on which data can be recorded, updated or added at a user's option. The read-only storage area has a structure that is completely compatible with a digital versatile disc read only memory (DVD-ROM) specification, and the writable storage area is compatible with the recording/reproducing characteristics of a writable DVD specification so that an existing reproducing-only apparatus can read information from the read-only storage area, and data can be recorded in the writable storage area using an apparatus obtained by minimally changing an existing recording/reproducing apparatus while maintaining the physical recording characteristics of the existing recording/reproducing apparatus.
What is claimed is: 1. A multi-layered optical information storage medium comprising:
12. The method of claim 9, wherein a wavelength of the first laser is 650 nm, and a wavelength of the second laser is 780 nm. Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a division of application Ser. No. 11/582,465 filed on Oct. 18, 2006, now abandoned, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/656,709 filed on Sep. 7, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,151,729, which claims the benefit of Provisional Application No. 60/214,734 filed on Jun. 29, 2000, now expired, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a structure of a conventional optical disc recording medium 20 having two data storage areas having different characteristics. Data which can be reproduced using a laser of 780 nm is recorded in a first recording area 26 on the optical disc 20, and data which can be reproduced using a laser of 635-650 nm is recorded in a second recording area 27. Referenced numeral 22 denotes a standard density information layer for a compact disc (CD), reference numeral 23 denotes a high-density information layer for a DVD, reference numeral 24 denotes a second substrate layer, reference numeral 25 denotes a first substrate layer, reference numeral 26 denotes the first recording area which is readable using the laser of 780 nm, and reference numeral 27 denotes the second recording area which is readable using the laser of 635-650 nm. The dual layer high-density optical disc 20 of FIG. 2 is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,732,065 entitled �Optical Information Carrier Including Standard and High Density Layers� and having a filing date of Sep. 4, 1996.
