The world of the most colorful alien optical disc

Colorful alien CD world

in the summer of 2001, our company cooperated with the trading company in Xigaze, Tibet, and jointly launched the first electronic ticket in China. This electronic ticket with novel shape and huge amount of information is sold at the same time in four major temples including the local tashilumbu temple, which brings a trace of fresh scientific and technological color to the ancient and mysterious Western Tantric culture, which can also display the information value, torque and time curve in the whole process of the experiment, and spreads the quiet and distant Buddhist culture to all parts of the world

while bringing back memories of Tibet, some tourists also saw other scenes they had not seen or experienced: vivid explanations about the historical origin of Shigatse, 360 of the positive face of Qiangba Buddha. Panoramic display (you know, we were chartered to enter the attic on the third floor to take photos), as well as panoramic photos of monks in their morning classes (calendar in the target scene, so that you seem to have integrated into them), etc

then, how did this picturesque "ticket" come out? First, we introduce the carrier of this "ticket"

it is not an ordinary picture album of paper media, nor an ordinary audio-visual tape, but a popular information carrier - optical disc if it is in the process of experiment. It is a new product derived from the mature stage of the computer industry. Its large capacity, strong artistic appeal of pictures, rich information performance, easy to carry and save, these advantages make the CD an excellent way to spread knowledge and update documents. Encyclopedias with rich content, enterprise publicity, game animation documents and materials, all rely on the batch replication and dissemination of CDs. How much paper, tape and film can this plastic medium product save

the shape of the disc is generally circular (with a diameter of 120mm), which can store 640MB of computer data, that is, it can store tens of thousands of pages of graphic materials and 70 minutes of VCD film and television programs (while the latest DVD technology has developed to 4, 7GB or 1 OGB). The CD we launched updates the shape of the ordinary CD, that is, the business card CD as shown in Figure 1

this kind of disc is to change the circle into a rectangle during the pressing process, that is, it is similar to the size of a business card or credit card (56mm x 86mm or 6ommmx 86mm). We call it a business card type disc. Although a certain amount of storage space was sacrificed (reduced from 640MB to 50MB), it was also loved by business people and tourists because of its novel style. Distinctive business card CD

production of special-shaped discs

first, estimate the size of the file to be copied. For CD-ROM, the minimum capacity can be controlled at 50MB, and the maximum capacity can be about 300MB. But if the capacity is too large, it is not easy to cut the desired shape. For example, our company once cut a five-star CD-ROM for Microsoft, with a capacity of 237mb. The CD-ROM looks like a starfish, wandering in the CD-ROM drive. The production steps are as follows:

(1) according to the normal size of the disc, draw the inner circle (small circle) line (diameter of 15-20mm) and outer circle line (diameter of 1 2omm) of the disc, as shown in Figure 2

(2) according to the contents of the file to be copied, calculate the boundary line (which must be circular) accounting for the size of the disc capacity, as shown in Figure 3

(3) carry out shape design between the boundary line and the edge line of the big circle of the disc. The special-shaped cutting line must be outside the red line. Pay attention to balance the center of gravity as far as possible, as shown in Figure 4

(4) after filling the contents of the disc, the disc is printed by offset printing, printing and other methods, and then the shape is cut after printing, that is, all kinds of special-shaped discs are made
