Abstract

This invention is an optical data recording medium having a substrate protective film for effectively suppressing deformation (warpage) associated with change in environmental humidity. The optical data recording medium includes a transparent substrate, a thin film layer formed on one surface of the transparent substrate, a thin film protective film formed of a resin as a main component on the thin film layer, and a substrate protective film formed of a resin as a main component on the other surface of the transparent substrate than the thin film protective film, in which the thin film layer is a single layer film or a multi-layer film including at least one of a dielectric film, a recording film and a reflective film, and the substrate protective film has a coefficient of humidity expansion that is larger than a coefficient of humidity expansion of the thin film protective film.
