Optical data carrier that contains merocyanine dye as light-absorbing compound in the information layer

本发明涉及包含优选透明的基体的光学数据载体，该基体已经任选被一个或多个反射层涂覆并且在其表面涂覆有光可写的、任选一个或多个反射层和任选保护层或进一步的基体或覆盖层。所说的光学数据载体可以通过蓝或红或红外光，优选激光写和读，并且信息层包含吸光化合物和任选的粘合剂。本发明数据载体进一步特征在于至少一种部花青染料被用作吸光化合物。 Optical data carrier comprising a preferably transparent substrate which may, if desired, have previously been coated with one or more reflection layers and to whose surface a light-writeable information layer, if desired one or more reflection layers and if desired a protective layer or a further substrate or a covering layer have been applied, which can be written on or read by means of blue, red or infrared light, preferably laser light, where the information layer comprises a light-absorbent compound and, if desired, a binder, characterized in that at least one merocyanine dye is used as light-absorbent compound.
