Abstract

The invention provides an optical recording medium having excellent weatherability and a process for producing the same. The optical recording medium is provided with an organic dye layer, a reflecting layer and a protective layer in this order on a light-transmittable substrate. The organic dye layer contains an organic solvent in an amount of 2% to 15% by weight based on the organic dye. A solution, prepared by dissolving an organic dye in an organic solvent, is applied onto the light-transmittable substrate by a spin coating method to form an organic dye layer. A reflecting layer is formed on the organic dye layer without performing a drying treatment of the organic solvent in the organic dye layer, followed by forming the protective layer on the reflecting layer. The result is an optical recording medium containing an organic solvent in an organic dye layer in an amount of 2% to 15% by weight based on an organic dye.
