USE AND MANUFACTURING APPLICATIONS OF POLYMER/DYE-BASED THIN LAYER COATINGS FOR ENHANCEMENT OF THE QUALITY OF RECORDING ON AND READOUT FROM THE OPTICAL STORAGE MEDIA

摘要

Compositions and use of apodizing thin layer screens comprised of inert spreadable liquid polymer-dye combinations (quasi-liquid crystals) applied to and retained on the transparent surface of optical storage media capable of improving laser beam performance during writing and/or readout of encoded information in optical storage media such as compact discs, minidiscs, CD-ROMs/LDs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs/DVDs/DVD-Rs, etc.
