Abstract
The present invention pertains to an optical information recording medium featuring a layered surface composition. A first surface is made of a light transmitting substrate, which has a second light absorptive layer which is laid on top of the light transmitting substrate. A light reflective layer is laid on top of the light absorptive layer. The light transmitting substrate will have a surface layer, which is adjacent to the light absorptive layer. This surface layer, is deformable by energy generated upon absorption of a laser beam by the light absorptive layer, to thereby form optically readable pits.
