Special Dye used in Blu-rays? - Blu-ray Forum

Ultimate1 · 02-07-2008, 08:10 PM

I heard somewhere that Blu-rays use an inorganic dye as opposed to the organic dye used in DVDs. This is supposedly to help them last longer and to be more durable. I also read that Blu-rays have higher durability when it comes to temperature and temperature changes. Can anyone verify this information?

This referred to writeable Blus, not commercial discs

Yes, and they now have both organic and inorganic dyes available for BD-R and BD-RE discs.

But Blu-ray discs (writeable and commercial discs) are far more durable and scratch resistant than DVDs... but that's a result of hard-coat technology applied to the discs... not the dye.
