Abstract

An improved injection molding process for producing a substrate of an optical disc having a high quality is disclosed. The process includes the steps of: fixing a stamper having protrusions corresponding to pits for recorded information or a groove for tracking onto one mold unit of a pair of mold units of an injection molding machine; combining the mold units to form a closed cavity between the pair of mold units; charging a molten molding resin into the cavity; cooling the resin in the cavity to form a molded substrate; separating one mold unit from another mold unit; and releasing the molded substrate simultaneously from both mold units when the two mold units are separated from each other by applying pressurized air onto both sides of the substrate.
