Abstract
The invention provides a phase charge type optical recording medium comprising on both sides of a recording layer dielectric layers, each containing zinc sulfide and silicon oxide as main components. The medium comprises on a substrate 2 a first dielectric layer 31, a recording layer 4, a second dielectric layer 32 and a reflective layer 5 made up of a metal. The first dielectric layer 32 comprises a dielectric lamina 1a on a substrate 2 side thereof and a dielectric lamina 1b on a recording layer 4 side thereof. The dielectric lamina 1a has a silicon oxide content of 2 to less than 40 mol %, the dielectric lamina 1b has a silicon oxide content of 40 to 100 mol %, and the second dielectric layer 32 has a silicon oxide content of 2 to 50 mol % and a thickness of 10 to 35 nm. The number of overwritable cycles can be increased.
