Abstract

An optical recording medium comprises a transparent substrate, an inner protection layer, a recording material layer, an outer protection layer, and a reflection layer, which are laminated in this order. In an in-groove recording mode, the ratio of the thickness of the recording material layer to the thickness of the outer protection layer is in a range between 0.52 and 0.95. In an on-land recording mode, the ratio of the thickness of the recording material layer to the thickness of the outer protection layer is in a range between 0.32 and 0.6.
