Abstract

An optical recording/reproducing disc is formed of round plastic plates between which is a recording layer capable of optically recording and reproducing signals, and a round protective layer of plastic material provided on the recording layer and having at the outer peripheral end a projection higher by 10 to 200.mu. than the inner peripheral surface of an effective recording/reproducing surface. Thus, when the disc is placed on a flat plane, a space is formed between the flat plane and the recording layer due to the projection, thereby preventing flaws from being produced by contact with dust or a foreign object.
