BASIC YELLOW DYES AS DYE COMPONENT FOR OPTICAL DATA RECORDING MEDIA

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of Basic Yellow dyes as dye component for optical data recording media. In a preferred aspect the present invention relates to Basic Yellow dyes together with a metalazo complex dye as dye components for optical data recording media. In a more preferred aspect, the invention relates to a write once read many (WORM) type optical data recording medium capable of recording and reproducing information with radiation of blue laser of preferably 405 nm, which employs a Basic Yellow dye together with a metalazo complex dye and a further recording dye in the optical layer.
