Optical information medium with sample mark area and multiple transcription prevention
First Claim
1. An injected molded optical information medium formed or injected soft material comprising an optical disc with first, second and third areas radially arranged so that said first and third areas are disposed respectively radially inwardly and radially outwardly of said second area, said second area being a sample mark area including at least one circumferentially extending track containing a plurality of spaced sample mark portions disposed along the track, each sample mark portion including at least two sample mark pits, one of the sample mark pits being slightly off-set on one side of the track, and the other of the sample mark pits being slightly off-set at an opposite side of the track and means for stopping movement of the soft injected material forming the optical information medium during injection molding so as to prevent multiple transcription of the sample mark pits in the sample area, said means for stopping movement being groove areas including a plurality of uneven tracks provided in said first and second areas.

Abstract
An optical disc consists of a base plate, a reflective thin layer, and a protective thin layer. The optical disc has a sample mark area having two sample marks, one of which is off-set on one side of a track, another of which is off-set at an opposite side of a track. These sample marks are produced by an injection molding with replica technique. At the time of the injection molding, additional pressure moves soft injected plastic resin, which causes double transcription of the sample marks. For preventing the double transcription, groove areas are provided on opposite sides of the sample mark area. The groove areas provide an anchor effect at the time of injection molding.
