Abstract

The pattern (104) of a desired character or design can be displayed visibly in an information recording area of an optical recording medium by utilizing the interference phenomenon of the reflected light (200a, 200b), which is caused by the different track pitch (P2, P3) from the standard track pitch (P1), wherein the different track pitch (P2, P3) is applied to some part of tracks (103) corresponding to the desired pattern (104) to be displayed visibly.
