Patent attributes
The present invention provides an optical information recording medium that includes a substrate including a groove with a track pitch of 200 to 400 nm and a groove depth of 20 to 150 nm and having successively disposed thereon a light reflecting layer, a recording layer containing a dye in which information is recorded by irradiation with a laser beam having a wavelength of no greater than 450 nm, an adhesive layer, and a cover layer with a thickness of 0.01 to 0.5 mm. A surface of the optical information recording medium on a side disposed with the cover layer has a center surface average roughness (SRa1) of no greater than 3.0 nm when measured over a large surface area and a center surface average roughness (SRa2) of no greater than 3.0 nm when measured over a minute surface area.
