Zusammenfassung:A data recording and read-out apparatus and method in which a ferroelectric ceramic substrate is remanently polarized to store information. Upon being illuminated, the substrate produces a photovoltaic voltage, which is detected to effect read-out. A disk of ferroelectric ceramic material to which information is entered by spiral tracking, either in a single track or in multiple tracks. A self-scanning data record comprised of a plurality of ferroelectric ceramic cells which are remanently polarized, and which are read out by a register.
