Taiyo Yuden Optical Storage by Gotmedia.com

One of computer’s main function is to store datas. Computer can store data on harddrives, optical medias, etc. Optical media storage, which are read-only, has the advantage to keep computer data safe. This is due to read-only access to keep data safe from malware or viruses attacks. In addition to computer data, optical media such as CD-R and DVD-R is also used in the audio and video industries.
Initially in the United States, there was a market separation between ‘Music CD-R’ and ‘Data CD-R’, the former being several times more expensive than the latter due to industry copyright. Physically, there is no difference between the discs save for the Disc Application Flag that identifies their type: standalone audio recorders will only accept ‘Music CD-R’, while computer CD-R drives can use either type of media to burn either type of data files. Until then, Taiyo Yuden was developed dye materials made it possible for CD-R discs to be compatible with Audio CD and CD-ROM discs.
According to Wikipedia, the basic formulations of dye used in Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs is Cyanine. Cyanine dye CD-Rs were the earliest ones developed, and their formulation is patented by Taiyo Yuden. CD-Rs based on this dye are mostly green in color. The earlier models were very chemically unstable and this made cyanine based discs unsuitable for archival use; they could fade and become unreadable in a few years. Many manufacturers like Taiyo Yuden use proprietary chemical additives to make more stable cyanine discs (“metal stabilized Cyanine”, “Super Cyanine”). Older cyanine dye based CD-Rs, as well as all the hybrid dyes based on cyanine, were very sensitive to UV-rays and could have become unreadable after only a few days if they were exposed to direct sunlight. Although the additives used have made cyanine more stable, it is still the most sensitive of the dyes in UV rays (showing signs of degradation within a week of direct sunlight exposure). A common mistake users make is to leave the CD-Rs with the “clear” (recording) surface upwards, in order to protect it from scratches, as this lets the sun hit the recording surface directly.
Beside CD-Rs, they also manufactured Taiyo Yuden DVD-Rs. DVD media manufactured my Taiyo Yuden known by following media codes. (Wikipedia)
