Abstract
The invention relates to an optical disc consisting of a synthetic resin substrate provided with readable information in a layer. The moisture-proof layer is arranged between the synthetic resin substrate and a second synthetic resin layer. A suitable choice of the position of the layer, that is the ratio &thgr; between the thickness of the second synthetic resin layer and the total thickness of the optical disc, enables the absolute maximum concentration moment (CM) or warpage of the optical disc to fall within a fixed range when the humidity of the environment changes. This range preferably lies between a small positive value and a small negative value.
