A disc is produced using a method of and an apparatus for forming a transparent layer on a disc substrate. The method for forming the transparent layer on the disc substrate includes covering an axial hole formed at a center of the disc substrate with a cover element by inserting a protrusion of the cover element in the axial hole of the disc substrate so that a resin does not leak through the axial hole, dispensing the resin toward the center of the disc substrate from an upper side of the disc substrate, and removing the cover element. A more uniform transparent layer can be obtained throughout the disc substrate.

A method of manufacturing an optical disc includes easily removing a bump formed on a circumference of the optical disc during forming a transparent layer by using a spin-coating method to form the optical disk having a high-density recording capacity. The method includes preparing a substrate having a diameter larger than that of a desired disc, applying an ultraviolet hardening resin to the substrate and forming a transparent layer having a predetermined thickness by a spin-coating method, illuminating an ultraviolet ray on the transparent layer and a bump formed on a circumference of the transparent layer to be hardened, and cutting out the bump by using a puncher. According to the method, the bump which inevitably occurs when the transparent layer is formed, can be easily cut out by a puncher.

Method of and apparatus for manufacturing optical disc

A light-curable resin composition includes an acrylate oligomer, an acrylate monomer having 4 or less functional groups, a photopolymerization initiator, a hardness enhancing agent represented by the formula(1), m-terphenyl represented by the formula(2) and a colloidal antistatic agent. The light-curable resin composition has a high antistatic property and a light transmittance, as well as a high hardness and a low shrinkage rate.
