Mitsubishi Kagaku Media Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Shigenori Otsuka) announces the release of the DVD-R "ARLEDIA" for long-term preservation of valuable data, in 1-disc pack, available for sale from the end of March.
The rapidly growing popularity of digital cameras and video cameras has created increased opportunity for storage of valuable personal still images and videos in data form. Large numbers of digital image users now need safe, long-term data storage, and this has led to the development of DVD-R products with powerful long-term storage capability.
ARLEDIA is a name derived from "Au/Ag (gold/silver) Reflective Layered mEDIA," and represents a disc with a reflective layer using gold (Au) and silver (Ag) (gold-silver reflective layer*2) for high disc durability. This is an archival-quality disc*1 with long-term storage capability (longevity) beyond that of previous products. ARLEDIA combines the advantages of gold for resisting deterioration over time, with silver for drive compatibility.
The recording layer uses an AZO dye called "DYN-AZO*3", developed by Mitsubishi Kagaku Media for resistance to light and heat and durability in repeated playback. The gold-silver reflective layer provides a synergistic effect that results in highly reliable disc performance. The recording surface is also covered with a hard coating to protect the disc against scratches and fingerprints.
The Mitsubishi Kagaku Media/Verbatim Group aims to become a recording media company that continues to create new values demanded by the time.
*1: Achieves twice the life of previous products in 88oC/80% RH environmentally accelerated durability testing.
*2: Patent applied for.
*3: The dye recording layer achieves high durability, high light resistance, high sensitivity, and wide power margin, adopted in DVD-R/+R.
