TDK Starts Shipping Blu-ray Discs
Techtree News Staff, Dec 14, 2005 1312 hrs ISTTDK has announced that is has started shipping its BD-R (write-once) and BD-RE (rewritable) Blu-ray Discs.
TDK has announced that is has started shipping its BD-R (write-once) and BD-RE (rewritable) Blu-ray Discs.
The four new products include BD-R25 (write once, single-side, single-layer, 25GB); BD-R50 (write once, single-side, dual-layer, 50GB); BD-RE25 (rewritable, single-side, single-layer, 25GB); BD-RE50 (rewritable, single-side, dual-layer, 50GB)
To ensure the new discs will be resistant to scratches and dirt even without external cartridges, they will be coated with TDK's new DURABIS 2 hard coating. DURABIS 2 technology has been specifically formulated for Blu-ray Discs.
Mass production at TDK's Chikumagawa Techno Factory, which specializes in optical discs, will commence upon issue of licensing for the bare disc.
The main features of BD-R and BD-RE Blu-ray Discs include DURABIS 2 coating that provides greater resistance to scratches and dirt (particularly fingerprint smudges), ensuring safe use even without a cartridge. The high-precision spin coating creates a supremely flat cover layer, resulting in highly stabilized recording and playback.
The BD-R disc utilizes a recording layer of an inorganic material which is unaffected by exposure to light, thus offering 'archivability'. The BD-RE disc utilizes a highly sensitive phase-change dye in the recording layer that realizes stabilized characteristics even after as many as 10,000 rewrites.
High-precision stacking technology precisely overlays disc layers, delivering stabilized characteristics on both the upper and lower recording layers in a single-sided, dual-layer (50GB) disc.
