Abstract

An optical recording medium of the present invention has on a substrate information recording patterns (2) and (3) distinguishable by a difference in light reflectivity, and is characterized in that said information recording pattern (2) is comprised of a portion (2a) of high reflectivity and a portion (2b) of low reflectivity and at least a part of said information recording patterns is formed by a diffraction grating or hologram (3). Since such plural types of information can be formed at the same time and at high density, the present invention has a merit of its having excellent fake-proofness and its manufacturing process being simplified.
