Recycle of Recordable DVD infrastructure
Huge infrastructure of the recordable DVD disc manufacturing, with over 5 Billion discs/year capacity, can easily be converted to BD-R LTH manufacturing lines, preparing to future demand growth with lower cost products. The Infrastructure/resource itself can be recycled for economy and environment-conscious viewpoint! Finally, It is thought to be the benefits of the whole optical disc and BD industry as well as the end users through low cost production, flexible supply capability, and saving environment.

*L1 recording status dependency on L0 recording characteristics? *How is the impact of the transparency change due to L1 recording? These concerns are raised from the experience in DVD recordable Dual-Layer, where only dye-recording layer technology is adopted. Sometime more than 10% recording power shift was observed.
Transparency through L1 is changed after L1 recording. LD beam
