Methods for bonding structurally dissimilar optical discs

Methods for bonding structurally asymmetrical or otherwise structurally dissimilar optical discs are provided. A bonded optical disc stack is formed from a first and a second optical disc by coating the back side of at least one of the optical discs with a light-curable bonding material and stacking the first and second optical discs back to back. The front side of the second optical disc is exposed to light for a first predetermined time period. The front sides of both the first and second optical discs are then exposed to light for a second predetermined time period. Finally, the front side of the first optical disc is exposed to light for a third predetermined time period. In this manner, when the second optical disc comprises program information and the first optical disc comprises a graphical image or other artwork, image pass-through due to simultaneous exposure and disc warpage due to one-sided exposure are significantly reduced.
