Patent ID: 7767117

Claim:
A manufacturing method for a flexible optical disk, comprising the steps of: a) coating an ultraviolet curing type resin on a stamper; b) stacking a film substrate on the ultraviolet curing type resin, before the ultraviolet curing type resin is spread on the stamper by rotating a spin disk; c) forming a transferring layer by rotating the stamper provided at the spin disk with high speed, the rotating causing spreading of the ultraviolet curing type resin; d) irradiating an ultraviolet light to the transferring layer so that the transferring layer is cured and the stamper is peeled; and e) stacking a recording layer and a protection layer on a surface of the transferring layer opposite the film substrate side; and wherein rigidity of the optical disk is equal to or more than 5 Pa and equal to or less than 5000 Pa where the rigidity is defined as Young's modulus of the film substrate×(thickness of the film substrate/radius of the film substrate) 3 , wherein the film substrate has an internal loss (internal friction) of greater than or equal to 0.001 and less than or equal 0.3, the internal loss being defined as: Q −1 =(fU−fL)/(″3×f), wherein the internal loss is defined based on a distribution of a characteristic frequency by a ratio of a frequency and a half value thickness, and wherein Q −1 is the internal loss, fU is a frequency at a side where the half value thickness is high, fL is a frequency at a side where the half value thickness is low, and f is the characteristic frequency.
