Claims
- 1. A method of manufacturing an optical disk comprising:
- forming light transmissive disk substrates having a common central hole and recording regions in radially intermediate regions, pits representing recording information being transferred onto said recording regions by means of a stamper, and forming a recess portion recessed in a thickness direction in a portion of at least one of the light transmissive disk substrates around said central hole;
- providing reflection films on those surfaces of the light transmissive disk substrates which are provided with said pits;
- providing protection films on upper surfaces of the reflection films;
- providing an indication member by one of printing and attachment on a bottom surface of said recess portion in at least one of the light transmissive disk substrates, which are provided with said protection films; and
- pressing, when attaching first and second optical disks having the indication member to each other as one body by means of an adhesive such that the reflection films are opposed to each other, outer sides of the first and second optical disks such that those portions of the first and second optical disks which face the indication member are more lightly pressed than other portions of the first and second optical disks.
- 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said forming of said light transmissive disk substrates includes forming an annular projection serving as a spacer on a portion of an outer surface corresponding to said indication member.
- 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said forming of said light transmissive disk substrates includes forming an annular projection serving both as a spacer and a lens portion on a portion of an outer surface corresponding to said indication member.
- 4. An apparatus for manufacturing an optical disk, said optical disk including first and second optical disks having annular light transmissive disk substrates having a common central hole, recording regions in radially intermediate regions, pits representing recording information on said recording regions, reflection films provided on those surfaces of the light transmissive disk substrates which are provided with said pits, and an indication member provided by one of printing and attachment on at least one of those sides of the light transmissive disk substrates which are provided with said reflection films and on a portion around said central hole, said manufacturing apparatus comprising:
- a stamper which forms said pits in said recording region; and
- an attaching apparatus having first and second pressing plates for attaching the first and second optical disks having the indication means to each other as one body by means of an adhesive such that the reflection films are opposed to each other, said attaching apparatus including disk-shaped elastic members provided on mutually facing sides of said first and second pressing plates for pressing outer surfaces of said first and second optical disks, those portions of the elastic members which face the indication members being formed of a material softer than a material of the other portions of the elastic members.
- 5. An apparatus for manufacturing an optical disk, said optical disk including first and second optical disks having annular light transmissive disk substrates having a common central hole, recording regions in radially intermediate regions, pits representing recording information on said recording regions, reflection films provided on those surfaces of the light transmissive disk substrates which are provided with said pits, and an indication member provided by one of printing and attachment on at least one of those sides of the light transmissive disk substrates which are provided with said reflection films and on a portion around said central hole, said manufacturing apparatus comprising:
- a stamper which forms said pits in said recording region; and
- an attaching apparatus having first and second pressing plates for attaching the first and second optical disks having the indication means to each other as one body by means of an adhesive such that the reflection films are opposed to each other, said attaching apparatus including first and second annular recess portions formed in parts of mutually opposed surfaces of said first and second pressing plates for pressing outer surfaces of said first and second optical disks, which parts of the mutually opposed surfaces correspond to said indication members, and first and second elastic sheets situated along said mutually opposed surfaces of the first and second pressing plates so as to cover said first and second annular recess portions, said first and second optical disks being clamped between said first and second elastic sheets and attached to each other.
